Reaktionsschritte

4-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)cyclohexanone (4.98 g, 26.18 mmol), benzyl bromide (4.92 g, 28.79 mmol), K2CO3 (5.06 g, 36.65 mmol) and 75 mL of acetone were mixed in a reaction flask equipped with a reflux condenser. The mixture was heated to reflux and stirred overnight. The mixture was cooled to room temperature and water was added. The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate three times. The combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The resulting solid was recrystallized in ethyl acetate to provide the titled compound. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 1.80-2.00 (m, 2 H), 2.13-2.26 (m, 2 H), 2.43-2.55 (m, 4 H), 2.91-3.05 (m, 1 H), 5.05 (s, 2 H), 6.94 (d, J=8.82 Hz, 2 H), 7.16 (d, J=8.82 Hz, 2 H), 7.28-7.48 (m, 5 H); MS (DCI) m/z 298 (M−NH4)+.
