Reaction Steps

The title compound was prepared according to the procedure of Example 7 using 2-n-propylphenol (10 g, 0.073 mol) in methylene chloride (100 ml), sodium hydroxide (6.0 g, 0.146 mol) in water (100 ml), 1,4-dibromobutane (55 g, 0.255 mol) and tetra-n-butylammonium bisulfate (26 g, 0.073 mol). The crude product was distilled (b.p. 110°-112°/0.25 mm Hg) to give 20 g (80%) of the title compound.
