Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

5.0 grams (25.0 mmole, 1.0 eq.) of 4-benzyloxyphenol was dissolved in 100 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide. 10.4 grams (75.0 mmole, 3.0 eq.) of potassium carbonate and 3.25 ml (37.5 mmole, 1.5 eq.) of allyl bromide were added to the reaction and it was stirred at 80° C. for 3 hours and at room temperature for another 136 hours. The reaction mixture was diluted with water and extracted 3× with 60 ml of ethyl acetate. The combined organics were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, evaporated and pumped on high vacuum overnight. The title compound (4.3 grams, 72% yield) was isolated by recrystallization from methanol.
