Potassium Carbonate → 2-(3-Butenyloxy)-4,4'-dinitrobiphenyl

Participants

Reaction Steps

Next, 10.4 g of the resulting 4,4'-dinitro-2-hydroxybiphenyl were dissolved in 95 mL dry acetone, and 5.52 g potassium carbonate and 7.56 g 4-bromo-1-butene were added and the mixture was refluxed for 71 h. The substance was then purified by a common method to obtain 5.20 g of 2-(3-butenyloxy)-4,4'dinitrobiphenyl (yield 41.4%) in the form of a light yellow powder. The boiling point of the product was 146°-147° C.
