Cesium carbonate → 1-(4-Chlorobutoxy)-4-iodobenzene

Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-iodophenol (1.0 g) in acetonitrile (10 mL), cesium carbonate (3.0 g) and 1-chloro-4-iodobutane (1.2 g) were added and the mixture was heated to 100° C., at which it was stirred for 4 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and filtered to remove insoluble materials, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by NH-type silica gel column chromatography (eluting solvent: n-hexane:ethyl acetate=7:3 to 1:1) to give the titled compound (1.4 g, 99%) as a brown oil.
