Iodoethane → HCID 22721046, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-bromo-3-isopropoxy-phenol (0.50 g, 2.16 mmol) in acetone (3 mL) were added potassium carbonate (0.30 g, 2.16 mmol) and ethyl iodide (0.35 mL, 4.33 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated at gentle reflux for 12 h. The solvent was removed to give a white paste. It was then taken in diethyl ether (50 mL). The white solids were filtered off and the filtrate was concentrated. Purification of the residue by Biotage flash chromatography eluting with 10% ethyl acetate in hexanes gave 1-bromo-4-ethoxy-2-isopropoxy-benzene (0.48 g, 86%).
