Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

The reaction was conducted in a 500-ml 3-neck flask equipped with a reflux condenser, an addition funnel, and a magnetic stirring bar. Into the flask was introduced 75 ml water, 11.5 grams of 50% aqueous sodium hydroxide, 19.3 grams (0.14 moles) 2-ethoxyphenol, and 23.8 grams (0.14 moles) 1-iodopropane. The flask contents were maintained at 80° C. for a period of 7 hours and were then cooled to room temperature. After the addition of 100 ml of water the reaction mixture was transferred to a 250-ml separatory funnel and washed twice with 100-ml quantities of hexane. The organic layer was washed twice with 10 ml of 15% aqueous sodium hydroxide and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. Most of the solvent was removed by simple distillation. A liquid was isolated which boiled at 63-67° C. @ 0.05 mm. It was labeled example 8, and the structure confirmed by glpc and NMR analysis.
