Reaction Steps

4,4′-oxydiphenol (4,4′-dihydroxydiphenyl ether) (1 eq, 10 g, 49.5 mmol), potassium carbonate (2.5 eq, 17.1029 g, 123.75 mmol, 138.205 g/mol), and 1-bromoheptane (2.5 eq, 22.1636 g, 19.5 mL, 123.75 mmol, 179.10 g/mol, d=1.14 g/mL) were dissolved in DMF (100 mL) at 80° C. The reaction was stirred until complete as determined by TLC. The reaction was poured into water and filtered. The crude product was taken up in methanol and heated while stirring, followed by sonication. The suspension was then filtered warm and the product washed with room temperature methanol to yield a white powder (compound characterized by Structure A: 4,4′-oxybis((heptyloxy)benzene)). The yield was 16.3 g (83.6%).
