Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 0.96 g (0.005 mole) of 1-(2,4-dihydroxy-3-propylphenyl)ethanone, 2.26 g (0.005 mole) of 4-[4-acetyl-3-[(5-bromopentyl)oxy]-2-propylphenoxy]butanoic acid ethyl ester and 1.36 g (0.010 mole) of anhydrous potassium carbonate in 40 ml of anhydrous acetone and 20 ml of anhydrous dimethylformamide was stirred at reflux for 17 hours. The solvents were removed in vacuo and the residue was purified by HPLC using 25% ethyl acetate-hexane to yield 2.36 g (84% yield) of 4-[4-acetyl-3-[[5-(4-acetyl-3-hydroxy-2-propylphenoxy)pentyl]oxy]-2-propylphenoxy]butanoic acid ethyl ester as an oil.
