Participants

Reaction Steps

In 250 ml of dimethylformamide is dissolved 8.95 g of the compound (II), and 4.80 g (2 equivalent) of 50% sodium hydride oily suspension and 10.25 g (1.3 equivalent) of benzyl bromide are added thereto. The mixture is stirred for 10 minutes under ice cooling, then poured into 200 ml of water, and sparingly soluble crystals are collected by filtration and recrystallized from hexane to give 2.096 g of 1,2-dibenzyloxy-2-hydroxy-3,4-dichlorobenzene, mp. 74°-75° C.
