Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6.54 g (20 mmol) of 2-bromo-1-(4-hydroxy-3,5-di-tert-butylphenyl)-ethanone in 25 ml of 1,2-dimethoxyethane, a solution of 3.14 g (21 mmol) of sodium iodide in 25 ml of 1,2-dimethoxyethane is added dropwise at room temperature. After the addition, stirring is continued for 16 hours at room temperature. Then 10 ml of hexane is added and, after stirring for additional 15 minutes, the precipitated salts are removed by filtration. The obtained solution is evaporated and the resulting residue is purified by recrystallization from hexane to give 5.21 g (70%) of compound 202, m.p. 88-89° C.
