The mixture was refluxed for 18 h and treated cautiously with H2O (20 ml). The resulting emulsion was extracted with ER (3×100 ml) and the dried extract was evaporated to leave a yellow oil. Excess 1,6-dibromohexane was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was purified on a column of silica (300 ml) [B] to give the title compound as a colourless oil (6.6 g) b.p. 110-115°/0.4 mmHg.
