Participants

Reaction Steps

Equimolecular amounts of (III), 2-phenyl-ethyl bromide and K2CO3 were refluxed in acetone for 48 h. The mixture was concentrated to small volume and shaken with diethyl ether and water. The ether phase was washed with 2 M NaOH, then with water, evaporated to dryness and the residue was recrystallized from ethanol. The title product was obtained in an 80% yield (abbreviation ON-6), m.p. 93-940° C. (ethanol); IR (KBr) 2227 (CN) cm1; 1H NMR (CDCl3) (δ, ppm) 2.66 (s, 3H, SCH3); 3.14 (t, 2H, CH2—Ph); 4.26 (t, 2H, O—CH2); 7.30 (m, 5H, arom.); 6.99-8.00 (m, 4H, arom.).
