Benzene → p-(5-n-Octyl-1,3-dioxan-2-yl)phenyl p-n-butylbenzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-n-butylbenzoyl chloride (0.98 g. 0.005 m), p-(5-n-octyl-1,3-dioxan-2-yl)phenol (1.37 g, 0.005 m), benzene (40 ml) and pyridine (2 ml) was stirred at room temperature for six hours. The resulting reaction mixture was poured into cold water. The organic layer was separated and washed with diluted hydrochloric acid solution, diluted potassium hydroxide solution and water, then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated and the residue was crystallized from ethanol to yield p-(5-n-octyl-1,3-dioxan-2-yl)phenyl p-n-butylbenzoate (1.1 g. 51%) CN 65.5°-66.5° C., NL 141°-142° C.
