Reaction Steps

A mixture of 16-bromohexadecanoic acid methyl ester (4.86 g, 13.9 mmol), MeCN (20 ml), 4-cyano-4′-hydroxybiphenyl (3.16 g, 16.2 mmol), and K2CO3 (2.45 g, 17.7 mmol) was stirred at 82° C. After 17 h satd aqueous NaHCO3 (150 ml) was added, and the product was filtered, washed with water, and recrystallized from boiling MeCN (approx 80 ml). Filtration and drying under reduced pressure yielded 5.40 g (84%) of (4′-cyanobiphenyl-4-yloxy)hexadecanoic acid methyl ester colorless needles.
