Participants

Reaction Steps

Following the method of Example 1, a mixture of 28.5 g. of 6-(p-anilinophenoxy)hexanol, 47.5 g. of methyl octanoate, 0.3 g. of aluminum isopropylate and a small chip of sodium metal (about 0.1 g.) was heated at 160°-170° C. for a total of 9 hours. The reaction mixture was then cooled and recrystallized from 2-propanol to afford the ester, 6-(p-anilinophenoxy)hexyl octanoate as a crystalline solid, m.p. 42°-43° C.
