Reaction Steps

1-Bromooctadecane (43.54 g, 0.131 mol) and potassium carbonate (54.15 g, 0.392 mol) were added to a solution of 3-methyl-4-nitrophenol (20 g, 0.131 mol) in dimethylformamide (120 mL) The reaction mixture was heated to 110° C. and stirred at this temperature for 60 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled and poured into water (2 L), stirred for 0.5 hour and extracted with methylene chloride (1 L). The organic extract was washed with 5% aqueous solution sodium bicarbonate (0.5 L), water (2×0.6 L), dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated to give (60 g) of crude product. This product was used in the next step without purification.
