Procedure

A mixture of 73.9 parts of 2-ethyl-3-(3-[2-propylphenoxy]propoxy)phenol, 35.0 parts of acetylene dicarboxylic acid, dimethyl ester and 4 parts of benzyl trimethyl ammonium hydroxide was warmed, with stirring, to 70° when an exothermic reaction occurred. The reaction mixture was maintained at 100°-120° for a further fifteen minutes, cooled, and 1000 parts of 1N sodium hydroxide solution was added. The mixture was extracted with chloroform and the chloroform extract washed with water and saturated sodium chloride solution and dried. Evaporation of the chloroform gave an oil which on trituration with 40/60 petrol gave a solid that crystallised from methanol to give 43.4 parts of dimethyl 2-ethyl-3-(3-[2-propylphenoxy]propoxy)phenoxy fumarate, m.pt. 63.5°-66° (raised to 71°-72.5° by recrystallisation).
