Reaction Steps

To a solution of terephthalic acid monomethyl ester (1.0 g, 5.6 mmol) and 4-hexyloxy-2′-bromoacetophenone (synthesized by following (2.0 g, 6.7 mmol) in DMF (10 mL) was added K2CO3 (0.77 g, 5.6 mmol) and heated at 60° C. After 10 h, the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and poured into water. The product was extracted using EtOAc, washed with brine, dried and concentrated. The crude residue was purified by combiflash to afford 1.0 g (45%) product. 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3): δ 0.94 (t, 3H, J=7.0 Hz), 1.36-1.39 (m, 4H), 1.48-1.58 (m, 2H), 1.81-1.85 (m, 2H), 3.99 (s, 3H), 4.07 (t, 2H, J=6.5 Hz), 5.58 (s, 2H), 6.99 (d, 2H, J=9.0 Hz), 7.92 (d, 2H, J=9.0 Hz), 8.16 (d, 2H, J=9.0), 8.122 (d, 2H, J=9.0 Hz).
