Reaction Steps

70 mmols (19.9 g) of said ester 1a, 100 mmols (24.4 g) of 1,6-dibromohexane and 150 mmols (20.7 g) of potassium carbonate were refluxed in 400 ml of acetone for 8 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered and then purified by column chromatography to obtain 4'-(6-bromohexyloxy)biphenyl-4-carboxylic acid 2-methylbutyl ester (ether 5b; 18.9 g, yield 60%, [α]23D=+2.93 (chloroform)).
