Dimethylformamide → HCID 14255179, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To dimethylformamide solution (78 ml) containing 4-chloronitrobenzene (15.7 g) and neopentyl alcohol (10.6 g) was added by portions sodium hydride (60% content, 4.8 g) under ice-cooling. The mixture was stirred under ice-cooling for 1 h. The mixture was warmed to room temperature and stirred further for 1 h. The reaction mixture was poured into water and extracted with toluene. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, after which the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The obtained oily substance was distilled under reduced pressure to give 4-neopentyloxynitrobenzene (69 g), boiling point: 120–125° C./0.1 mmHg.
