Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-propanol (3.00 g, 19.7 mmol, 1 equiv) in DMF (100 ml) was added portion wise NaH (0.45 g, 18.8 mmol, 0.95 equiv) at rt, and the resulting mixture was stirred for 15 min. Iodoethane (1.37 ml, 20.0 mmol, 1 equiv) was added drop wise and the mixture was stirred for 2.5 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with water and extracted with EtOAc. The extract was washed with water, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated under vacuum to give the title compound (2.90 g, 81.7%) that was used as such for the next step.
