Potassium Carbonate → HCID 57545204, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

20.0 g (110 mmol) of 3,5-diethoxyphenol and 30.7 g (99.8 mmol) of methyl bromo(4-bromophenyl)acetate are dissolved in 39 ml of 2-butanone under argon at RT, and 31.0 g (225 mmol) of potassium carbonate are added. The reaction mixture is heated under RF for 4 h. After cooling, the precipitate is filtered off with suction and washed with 2-butanone, and the filtrate is concentrated. Chromatography on silica gel 60 (mobile phase: toluene) results in 33.1 g (81% of theory) of the product.
