Participants

Reaction Steps

12.43 ml of a 5.6 N mixture of sodium methylate and methyl alcohol (1 equivalent) are added to 13.9 g of p-benzoxyphenol in 60 ml of ethanol. Thereafter, 12.4 g of cyclopropylpropyl mesylate in 40 ml of ethanol are introduced, all at once, and the mixture is heated to the reflux temperature of this solvent for 3 hours. The ethanol is driven off by distillation, the residue is taken up in chloroform and the solution is washed with water, with N sodium hydroxide solution and then with water. From the chloroform (solution) are obtained 15.4 g of 4-cyclopropyl-propoxy-1-benzoxy-benzene (yield: 78.5%), M.p.=60° C. (MeOH).
