Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-iodophenol (4.0 g, 18 mmol) in ethanol (40 mL) is added potassium hydroxide (1.0 g, 18 mmol) and 2-(bromomethyl) naphthalene (4.0 g, 18 mmol) and this mixture is refluxed overnight. The hot reaction is filtered and the filtrate is chilled in ice. The ensuing precipitate is collected by filtration to give the title compound. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.84-7.89 (m, 4H), 7.48-7.53 (m, 3H), 7.40 (d, 1H), 7.29-7.32 (m, 1H), 6.95-7.04 (m, 2H), 5.20 (s, 2H); MS (EI) 360 (M)+.
