Reaction Steps

Into the round bottom flask containing potassium salt of 3-pentadecyl phenol is added bromobenzene followed by Cu powder and in a solvent, DMAc (dimethyl acetamide). The reaction mixture is heated at 150° C. for 6 h. After completion of the reaction, the obtained dark colored reaction mixture is poured into water and the Cu salts are removed by filtration.
