Sodium Hydroxide → HCID 86762126, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

(E)-Methyl 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)acrylate (166 mg, 0.93 mmol) was added to dry DMSO (10 mL) and stirred under nitrogen in a round bottom flask. Crushed sodium hydroxide (44 mg, 1.1 mmol) was added. After 30 minutes, 1,1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8-heptadecafluoro-11-iodoundecane (500 mg, 0.85 mmol) was added. The reaction was allowed to stir overnight. Washed with water and extracted with dichloromethane to yield an oil. This crude product was purified on a silica column using hexanes with increasing amounts of ethyl acetate as the eluent. A white solid was isolated (418 mg, 77% yield). 1H NMR (400.14 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.65 (d, J=16.0 Hz), 7.48 (d, J=8.75 Hz, 2H), 6.90 (d, J=8.75 Hz, 2H), 6.32 (d, J=16.0 Hz), 4.07 (t, J=5.90 Hz, 2H), 3.80 (3H), 2.40-2.20 (m, 2H), 2.18-2.05 (m, 2H).
