Procedure

p-Bromophenol (50 g, 0.29 mole), ethyl vinyl ether (41.7 g, 0.58 mole) and pyridinium p-toluene-sulfonate (1.5 g) were dissolved in methylene chloride (300 ml), followed by reaction with stirring at room temperature for 6 hours. Then 5% aqueous sodium bicarbonate (400 ml) was added to the reaction mixture, and stirred. Then, the organic layer was separated, washed with H2O (300 ml×3), dried over anhydrous MgSO4 and evaporated. The residue (82 g) was distilled under reduced pressure to give 71.1 g of p-bromo-(1-ethoxy-ethoxy)benzene as a pale yellow oil having a boiling point of 112°-114° C./6 mmHg.
