Reaction Steps

A mixture of 15.0 g of product from Example 102, 53.2 g of 1-bromotetradecane, 37 g of potassium carbonate, 1.04 g of potassium iodide and 350 ml of 2-butanone is heated at reflux for 28.5 hours. The reaction is cooled to room temperature, filtered and the filtrate concentrated in vacuo. The residue is recrystallized from methylene chloride/hexane to give 49.33 g of the desired product.
