Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-bromophenol (20 g) in dry pyridine (75 ml) was cooled to 0° C. and heptanoyl chloride (18.79 ml) was added dropwise. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 21/2 hours. Water (10 ml) was added to dissolve the precipitate and the mixture then evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in diethyl ether, washed with water, hydrochloric acid, water, aqueous saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate, water, dried and evaporated under reduced pressure to give 4-bromophenyl heptanoate.
