Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of ethyl 4-hydroxybenzoate (10.0 g, 60.0 mmol) in acetone (100 mL) was added K2CO3 (33.0 g, 239.1 mmol) at 10° C.; stirred for 0.5 hour. Then 3-bromo-propene (8.0 g, 66.0 mmol) was added dropwise and the reaction mixture was stirred at 10° C. for 5 hours. The resulting mixture was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give product (12.0 g, 96%).
