Bis(2-bromoethyl) ether → HCID 54307926, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Under an argon atmosphere, 2 g of [[8-acetyl-7-hydroxy-2-naphthalenyl]oxy]acetic acid methyl ester was added to a suspension of 0.32 g of 60% sodium hydride in 30 ml of anhydrous dimethylformamide. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes and then 8.5 g of bis-(2-bromoethyl)ether was added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 20 hours. The solvent was removed and residual oil was purified by high pressure liquid chromatography using 7% ethyl acetate-toluene to yield 2.4 g (77%) of [[8-acetyl-7-[2-(2-bromoethoxy)ethoxy]-2-naphthalenyl]oxy]acetic acid methyl ester as an oil.
