Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1.00 g (0.0052 mole) of 1-(2,4-dihydroxy-3-propylphenyl)ethanone, 2.78 g (0.0052 mole) of [4-acetyl-3-[4-(4-iodobutoxy)butoxy]-2-propylphenoxy]acetic acid ethyl ester and 1.44 g (0.010 mole) of anhydrous potassium carbonate in 75 ml of anhydrous acetone was stirred at reflux for 18 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by HPLC using 35% ethyl acetate-hexane to give 2.72 g (87% yield) of [4-acetyl-3-[4-[4-(4-acetyl-3-hydroxy-2-propylphenoxy)butoxy]butoxy]-2-propylphenoxy]acetic acid ethyl ester as an oil.
