Procedure

1,3-dibromopropane (20.0 g) was added to a stirred suspension of 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (4.0 g) and potassium carbonate (7.0 g) in acetone (80 mL). After 16 h, the mixture was heated under reflux for a further 2 h, cooled, filtered to remove the inorganics, and the solution was evaporated in vacuo. Purification was by silica gel chromatography eluting with isohexane to remove the 1,3-dibromopropane and then dichloromethane:isohexane, 2:1 to collect the subtitled compound. Yield 3.45 g.
