1-Octanol → 2-(4-Decyloxyphenyl)-5-octyloxycarbonyl benzooxazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a 30 ml round-bottom flask, 0.30 g (0.76 m mole) of 2-(4-decyloxyphenyl)-5-carboxybenzooxazole, 0.11 g (0,84 m mole) of octanol and 8 ml of dichloromethane were placed. To the mixture solution 0.16 g (0.78 m mole) of N,N'-dicyclohexycarbodiimide and 0.04 g of 4-pyrrolidinopyridine were added in order under stirring at room temperature, followed by stirring for 8 hours at room temperature to precipitate N,N'-dicyclohexylurea. The resultant N,N'-dicyclohexylurea was filtered off and the filtrate was dried under reduced pressure. The resultant was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: toluene) and recrystallized twice from acetone to obtain 0.19 g of 2-(4-decyloxyphenyl)-5-octyloxycarbonyl benzooxazole (Yield: 49.3%). ##STR89##
