Potassium Carbonate → HCID 54301032, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A reaction vessel was charged with 1.1 g of 4-hydroxy-4'-bromobiphenyl, 20 ml of 2-butanone, 1.2 g of potassium carbonate and 0.95 g of (S)-4-methylhexyl bromide, and the mixture was refluxed with stirring until TLC showed the disappearance of the starting materials. It took 10 hours for this. The reaction liquid was filtered to remove solids and the filtrate was concentrated. The residue was dried under reduced pressure to obtain 1.4 g (93%) of (S)-4-(4-methylhexyl)oxy-4'-bromobiphenyl.
