Reaction Steps

8.65 g of bromophenol and 8.75 g of 4-bromobutyric acid ethyl ester are dissolved in 120 ml of dimethylformamide, mixed with 32.6 g of cesium carbonate and stirred for 2 days at room temperature. The reaction mixture is filtered, the solvent is distilled off in a vacuum and the residue is distilled in a bulb tube at 180° C./0.4 mbar. 11 g of 4-(2-bromophenoxy)butyric acid ethyl ester is obtained as a colorless oil.
