Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of {4-[2-(4-methylphenoxy)propyl]phenyl}methanol (0.725 g) in THF (20 mL) were added CCl4 (2.3 mL) and PPh3 (1.640 g) at room temperature under an Ar atmosphere. The mixture was heated at reflux for 6.5 hours, and then cooled to room temperature, and evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (n-hexane/AcOEt=5/1) to afford 1-[4-(chloromethyl)phenyl]propan-2-yl 4-methylphenyl ether (0.696 g) as a colorless oil.
