Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 4-bromophenol (15 g), sodium iodide (13.0 g) and potassium carbonate (14.4 g) in DMF (200 ml) was added at room temperature 2-chloroethylmethyl ether (9 ml), and the mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 3 days. To the mixture was added water, and the mixture was extracted with diethylether. The organic layer was washed with water and saturated brine, dried with magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to give orange oil of 1-bromo-4-(2-methoxyethoxy)benzene (17.44 g).
