Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 30 g. (0.12 mole) of 1-(2-ethoxyphenoxy)-4-chloro-2-butanol and 18.5 g. (0.10 mole) of potassium phthalimide was heated slowly to 130° C. for 10 min. and at 160° C. for one hour with stirring. The reaction mixture was extracted with 250 ml. of hot toluene. A crystalline solid separated from the toluene extract when cooled to room temperature. The solid was recrystallized from toluene and melted at 93°-95° C.
