Reaction Steps

5.00 g (5.88 mmol) 3,5-bis[(6-{[(2E)-3-(4-butoxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-2-propenoyl]oxy}hexyl)oxy]benzyl alcohol, (6.47 mmol) tetrabromomethane were dissolved in 100 ml dichloromethane. The solution was subsequently cooled to 0° C. and a solution of 1.85 g (7.05 mmol) triphenylphosphine in 20 ml dichloromethane was added dropwise thereto over a period of 1 hour. The reaction mixture was reduced in volume by evaporation. Chromatography of the residue yield 3,5-bis[(6-{[(2E)-3-(4-butoxy-3-methoxy-phenyl)-2-propenoyl]oxy}hexyl)oxy]benzyl bromide.
