Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

10.5 kg of 4-hydroxybenzamide, 10.58 kg of potassium carbonate and 83 kg of acetonitrile are introduced into a reactor. The mixture is stirred and then there are added 24.14 kg of a solution of 1-bromo-3-chloropropane. The reaction mixture is heated at reflux for 4 hours. Water (105 L) is added in the hot state, the mixture is then cooled to 5° C. and filtered. The filter cake is washed with water and then with acetonitrile. The title product is obtained in the form of a powder in a yield of 82%.
