Sodium Hydroxide → 4-Propylbenzoic acid

참여 물질

반응 단계

A solution of sodium hypobromite prepared by dissolving bromine (1.0 mole) in a solution of sodium hydroxide (3.5 mole) in water (700 ml) at 0° C. was added to a well stirred solution of 4-n-propylacetophenone (0.2 mole), prepared in step A1, in dioxan (500 ml). Throughout the addition and for 0.25 hours afterwards the temperature was maintained at 35°-45° C. The excess of sodium hypobromite wad destroyed by adding a solution of sodium metabisulphite. Water (3.5 L) was added and bromoform distilled from the reation mixture. On cooling, the solution was acidified with concentrated hydrochloric acid and the precipitated product filtered off and washed with water. The product was crystallised from ethanol/water to yield white crystals mpt 141.2° C.
