Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of p-methoxy-2-bromopropiophenone ((1 g, 4.11 mmol) was added to a solution of p-methoxyanisole in N,N dimethylaniline (1.7 g, 13.82 mmol)) and heated under reflux for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, poured into 2N HCl, and extracted with EtOAc. The organic extract was washed with water and dried over Na2SO4. Removal of the solvent under reduced pressure and flash chromatography on SiO2 using CH2Cl2 gave the desired intermediate compound 2.
