Potassium Carbonate → Methyl 3'-[3,4-bis-(1-phenylmethanoyloxymethyl)benzyloxy]-3-methylbiphenyl-4-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a manner similar to that of Example 1(i), by reaction of 1.5 g (6.2 mmol) of methyl 3′-hydroxy-3-methylbiphenyl-4-carboxylate with 3 g (6.88 mmol) of 3,4-bis(benzoyloxymethyl)benzyl bromide and 900 mg (6.4 mmol) of potassium carbonate, the desired product is obtained in the form of a yellow oil (m=3.69 g; Y=99%).
