Reaction Steps

4-Hydroxybenzaldehyde (673 mg, 5.5 mmol), 1-bromododecane (1.25 g, 5 mmol) and potassium carbonate (859 mg, 6.22 mmol) were added to dimethylformamide (3 ml), and they were stirred at 65° C. for 18 hours. After the completion of the reaction followed by the extraction with ethyl acetate, 4-dodecyloxybenzaldehyde (yield: 1.45 g, 99%) was obtained in the form of white crystals.
