Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

50.0g (0.290mol) of p-bromophenyl was dissolved in 300ml of ethanol and 14.2g (0.340mol) of sodium hydroxide and 49.5g (0.300mol) of 1-bromohexane were added thereto. The resulting solution was stirred at 70° C. for 4 hours to complete the reaction and the solvent was removed by distillation. Then 150ml of water was added and the organic layer was extracted with 200ml of hexane. The hexane was removed by distillation thereafter. The residue was distilled under reduced pressure to yield 63.4g of 4-hexyloxybromobenzene having a b.p. 139° C./7mmHg.
