Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 4- hydroxybenzoate (33.2 g) in acetone (300 ml) were added geranyl bromide (44.5 g) and potassium carbonate (55.2 g). The mixture was refluxed with heating for 2 hours. The reaction solution, after water (200 ml) were added thereto, was extracted with chloroform (400 ml). The extract was dried over sodium sulfate anhydride and then concentrated under a vacuum to yield a raw product of methyl 4-geranyloxybenzoate.
