Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2.4 g (5.3 mmole) of 1-(6-bromohexyl)-2,3-bis-(phenylmethoxy)benzene, 0.88 g (5.3 mmole) of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid ethyl ester, 2.5 g (18 mmole) of potassium carbonate and 0.8 g (5.3 mmole) of sodium iodide in 40 mL of acetone was stirred at reflux for 22 hours. Workup as in Example 16 and recrystallization of the crude product from ethyl acetate-hexane gave 2.3 g, mp 63°-65° (81% yield) of 4-[6-[2,3-bis(phenylmethoxy)phenyl]hexyloxy]benzoic acid ethyl ester.
