Reaction Steps

Under an atmosphere replaced with argon, 2-allyl-4-bromophenol (compound 3), potassium carbonate and benzyloxy-benzylchloride (BnBr) were dissolved in dimethylformamide (DMF), and stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. After confirming that the starting materials were disappeared using thin-layer chromatography (TLC) (with a developer of n-hexane:ethyl acetate=4:1), the reaction liquid was subjected to extraction using 20 mL of water and 20 mL of ethyl acetate. The organic phase was washed with 20 mL of water twice, dried using magnesium sulfate, and then subjected to filtration. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure using an evaporator. The resultant residue was subjected to purification using silica gel flash chromatography (silica gel flash c.c.) (with a developer of n-hexane:ethyl acetate×4:1), to thereby obtain 2-allyl-1-(4-benzyloxy-benzyloxy)-4-bromobenzene (compound 4) as light brown solid.
