Reaction Steps

A mixture of 12.0 g of 3-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-hydroxybenzoic acid methyl ester, 11.15 g of 1-bromodecane, 9.95 g of potassium carbonate, 0.797 g of potassium iodide and 100 ml of 2-butanone is heated at reflux temperature for 40 hours. The reaction is cooled, filtered and the filtrate concentrated in vacuo. The residue is purified by chromatography (silica gel: 0-3% ethyl acetate/hexane) to give 18.49 g of the desired product as a light yellow oil.
