Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

p-hydroxybenzoic acid (33.2 g), 8-bromo-1-octene (57.3 g), potassium carbonate (41.5 g) and N,N-dimethylacetamide (200 mL) were put into a 500-mL three-neck flask, and stirred at 120° C. for 5 hours. After cooled, the reaction mixture was poured into water (200 mL), extracted with ethyl acetate (500 mL), and washed two times with water (100 mL). This was dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate and then filtered. The solvent was removed through concentration under reduced pressure, the residue was dissolved in methanol (100 mL), and a methanol solution (20 mL) of potassium hydroxide (16.8 g) was dropwise and gradually added thereto, and heated under reflux for 2 hours. After cooled, the formed crystal was collected through filtration and washed with water. This was dried to give TP-5C (63.3 g, 85%).
