Potassium Carbonate → Methyl 3'-(3,4-bis(1-phenylmethanoyloxymethyl)-benzyloxy]-2,6-dimethylbiphenyl-4-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a manner similar to that of Example 1(i), by reaction of 4.49 g (17.5 mmol) of methyl 3′-hydroxy-2,6-dimethylbiphenyl-4-carboxylate with 8.46 g (19 mmol) of 3,4-bis(benzoyloxymethyl)benzyl bromide and 2.54 g (18 mmol) of potassium carbonate, the desired product is obtained in the form of a yellow oil (m=7.4 g; Y=69%).
