Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-hydroxy-3-(3-benzyloxycarbonylpropyl)benzene (2.0 g), benzylbromide (1.14 ml), potassium bicabonate (1.53 g) and dimethylformamide (20 ml) was stirred for 3 h at room temperature. The mixture was quenched by addition of water and extracted with a mixture of n-hexane:ethyl acetate (3:1). The extract was washed with water and a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride successively, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and evaporated. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (n-hexane:ethyl acetate=10:1) to give the title compound (2.55 g) having the following physical data.
