Procedure

To a mixture of 4-nitrophenol (150 g, 1.079 moles), potassium carbonate (600 g, 4.341 moles) and sodium iodide (10 g, 66.7 mmol) in anhydrous acetone (2.1 L) was added methyl 6-bromohexanoate (156 g, 746.41 mmol) with and heating to reflux for 48 hours. Acetone was distilled off and water (2 L) was added. Crude 21 was filtered, dried and recrystallised from a mixture of ethyl acetate:hexane (1:6) to get pure 21 (130 g, 45.1%) as a white powder with an m.p. between 84.5.5-86.6° C.
