Benzyl Bromide → HCID 15052395, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension comprising 3.0 g of 8-(4-hydroxyphenyl)octanol, 3.0 g of anhydrous potassium carbonate, 50 ml of dry acetone and 1.9 ml of benzyl bromide was heated under reflux for 16 hours. After the completion of the reaction, the potassium carbonate was filtered off and the filtrate was concentrated on an evaporator. The white solid thus obtained was precipitated from chloroform-hexane (1:4). As a result, 3.0 g of the desired compound was obtained (yield: 71%).
