Reaction Steps

To a solution of cyanophenol (25 g) and potassium carbonate (58 g) in 2-butanone (320 ml) was added bromooctane (61 ml) at room temperature. The stirred mixture was heated under reflux for 48 hrs (i.e., until TLC revealed complete reaction). The mixture was filtered, after which the solvent and excess alkyl bromide were removed in vacuo to give a colorless liquid.
