Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5 g of 2-hydroxy-4-tert-butyl-benzoic acid, 9.1 ml of benzyl bromide, 17 g of caesium carbonate, 0.3 g of sodium iodide and 500 ml of acetone is stirred for 20 hours under reflux and then filtered and the filtrate is concentrated by evaporation. The residue is partitioned between diethyl ether and water, the organic phases are concentrated by evaporation and the residue is purified by means of FC (1000 g of silica gel, dichloromethane/hexane=1:1). Title compound: Rf (dichloromethane/hexane=1:1)=0.47.
