Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 22465771, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

First, 3.0 g of 60% sodium hydride and 120 ml of dehydrated dimethoxyethane were put in an argon-replaced 300 ml flask. Then, 9.93 g of 4,4′-dihydroxybiphenyl was added while icing, and stirred at room temperature for two hours. The reaction solution was cooled again to −60° C., and 28.7 g of 2-(perfluorobutyl)ethyl trifluoromethanesulfonate was dropped into the reaction solution. After the resultant reaction solution was left to resume room temperature, it was stirred for 12 hours. After the reaction, dilute hydrochloric acid and benzene were added to the reaction solution to separate an organic layer. The organic layer was washed with a saturated brine and dried with sodium sulfate. The solvent was then distilled off. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent:benzene/ethyl acetate=9/1), and recrystallized from toluene to obtain 6.26 g (Y: 27.1%) of 4-hydroxy-4′-[2-(perfluorobutyl)ethyloxy]biphenyl. The purity of the resultant compound was 98.4% as measured by GC.
