Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

7.44 g of 4-phenoxyphenol and 5.52 g of potassium carbonate are stirred in 50 ml of anhydrous dimethylformamide for 1 hour at 70° C. 5.52 g of 2-bromo-4-chloromethylthiophene is then dripped in, and the mixture is stirred for a further 12 hours at 80° C., and at room temperature (approx. 20° C.) overnight. The mixture is then stirred into 500 ml of ethyl acetate and washed three times with water. After drying over sodium sulfate and removal of the solvent, the residue is recrystallized from n-hexane. There is obtained 10.7 g of 2-bromo-4-[(phenoxyphenoxy)-methyl]-thiophene; colorless powder; m.p.: 90° C.
