Participants

Reaction Steps

4.1 g of 4-n-octylphenol and 1.6 g of pyridine are dissolved in 10 ml of toluene, the solution is warmed to 100°, 5.0 g of 4-(trans-3-n-propylcyclopentyl)benzoyl chloride (cf. Example 2) are added dropwise, and the mixture is left to react for 3 hours. The pyridine hydrochloride is subsequently filtered off under suction, and the filtrate is washed with water, dried and freed from solvent in vacuo. After crystallization of the residue from petroleum ether, 4-octylphenyl 4-(trans-3-propylcyclopentyl)-benzoate is obtained; m.p. 36°, c.p. 40.7°.
