Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

3-Nitro-4-phenylphenol (860 mg, 4.0 mmol) was dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide (40 mL), followed by addition of 8-bromo-1-octanol (1.86 g, 6.0 mmol). After stirring at 50° C. for 5 hours, the reaction solution was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography to obtain 8-(3-nitro-4-phenylphenoxy)octan-1-ol (1.23 g).
