Participants

Reaction Steps

Triethylene glycol (45 g, 0.3 mole) was treated with excess p-nitrobenzoyl chloride (116 g, 0.62 mole), following the general procedure outlined in Example 1, Part A. After treating with aqueous sodium bicarbonate to remove excess acid chloride, the product was recrystallized from ethyl acetate to give bis-(4-nitrobenzoyl)-triethylene glycol (115 g) as a pale yellow solid, m.p. 104°-105° C. The product was homogeneous by TLC.
