Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Sodium hydride (60% suspension in mineral oil, 108 mg) was added to ethoxyethanol (10 ml), and the solution was stirred at 60° C. for 20 minutes. To the solution was added Methyl 4-[4-(8-bromooctyloxy)phenyl]benzoate (1.26 g), and the reaction mixture was stirred at 70° C. for 2 hours. To the reaction mixture was added 10% sodium hydroxide aqueous solution (2.4 ml), and the solution was stirred at 70° C. for 1 hour. After cooling, the solution was adjusted to pH 2.0 with 1 N hydrochloric acid. The precipitate was collected by filtration, and dried to give 4-[4-[8-(2-Ethoxyethoxy)octyloxy]phenyl]benzoic acid (1.13 g).
