4,4'-Dihydroxybiphenyl → HCID 19873709, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

4.5 g (0.018 mol) of 4-Octyloxy-benzoic acid, 7.0 g (0.038 mol) of 4,4′-Dihydroxy biphenyl and 0.46 g (3.7 mmol) of DMAP are dissolved in 65 mL of dry THF and 4.4 g (0.021 mol) of DCC is added. After stirring for 18 h at room temperature, the suspension is filtered. The residue is dissolved in a hot solution of hexane:CHCl3:THF=2:2:1 and after cooling to room temperature, the precipitate is filtered off. The recrystallisation is repeated until the TLC indicates pure white product (3.7 g, 49% yield).
