The reaction was allowed to continue for 24 h under reflux. The solid residue was filtered off, and the filtrate was evaporated to dryness. The resultant solid was dissolved in water (200 mL) and then acidified with a 10% HCl solution. The precipitate was filtered for recrystallization from ethanol: water (1:1) to yield 1(26.7 g, 75%). 1H NMR (200 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 1.85 (quintet, 2H, —CH2—), δ 3.55 (t, 2H, —CH2OAr), δ 4.10 (t, 2H, HOCH2—), δ 6.95 (d, 2H, aromatic ring), δ 7.85 (d, 2H, aromatic ring).
