4,4'-Dihydroxybiphenyl → 4,4'-Dibutoxybiphenyl

Participants

Reaction Steps

In the same manner as in (1) above, 4,4′-dihydroxybiphenyl, 1-bromobutane and potassium carbonate were reacted in a proportion of 1:6:6 to prepare the objective compound. The reaction was conducted by heating under reflux at the refluxing temperature of acetone for 6 hours. The reaction solution thus obtained was cooled, potassium carbonate was filtered off, the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure and put into water, and the precipitate thus formed was collected by filtration and recrystallized from ethanol to obtain 4,4′-dibutoxybiphenyl.
