Benzyl Bromide → HCID 10614463, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2.0 g (9.3 mmol) of 4,4'-dihydroxybenzophenon in 50 ml dry acetone was added 27.5 ml of 0.34M NaOMe in MeOH. After the reaction mixture had been stirred for 20 min, 1.6 g (9.3 mmol) of benzylbromide was added. The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 15 h. 250 ml EtOAc was added and then extracted with 2×50 ml 0.5M HCl, 2×50 ml H2O and 50 ml saturated NaCl(aq). Drying (MgSO4), evaporation of the EtOAc and purification on silica gave 0.93 g (33%) of 4'-benzyloxy-4-hydroxy benzophenon.
