1-Bromopropane → HCID 18433157, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Sodium hydride (100 mg) was suspended in N,N-dimethylformamide (5 ml) and a solution of 4-acetoxy-3,5-di-tert-butyl-2-methylphenol (0.5 g) in N,N-dimethylformamide (5 ml) was added dropwise to the suspension at 0° C. After stirring for 20 min, propyl bromide (0.2 ml) was added and the mixture was stirred for an additional 2 h. The reaction mixture was then poured into a saturated aqueous solution of ammonium chloride and extracted with diethyl ether. The extract was washed with water and saturated brine, then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was distilled off to afford 1-acetoxy-2,6-di-tert-butyl-3-methyl-4-propyloxybenzene which was substantially pure on TLC. It was used in the subsequent reaction without further purification.
