Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1.00 g (2.57 mmol) of 4-[6-(2,3-dihydroxyphenyl)hexyloxy]-2-hydroxy-3-propylbenzoic acid, 0.76 mL (5.15 mmol) of n-hexyl iodide and 0.26 g (3.36 mmol) of sodium bicarbonate in 15 mL of anhydrous dimethylformamide was stirred and heated at 70° for 16 hours. The solvent was removed on the oil pump, water was added and the product was extracted with ethyl acetate. The dried extract was concentrated under reduced pressure to an oil which was purified by chromatography on silica gel using 5% ethyl acetate-toluene to give 1.01 g (83% yield) of 4-[6-(2,3-dihydroxyphenyl)hexyloxy]-2-hydroxy-3-propylbenzoic acid hexyl ester as an oil.
