A mixture of 1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)phenyl-methanone (14 g, 61.4 mmol), K2CO3 (13 g, 92.1 mmol), and 1,3-dibromopropane (28 g, 86 mmol) in acetonitrile (400 ml) was heated at reflux for 4 hours. The reaction was followed by thin layer chromatography. At the end of the reaction, the inorganics were filtered off and the solvent was removed on a rotary evaporator. The residue was purified on a flash chromatographic column (SiO2, 140 g, eluted with 4:1 hexane:dichloromethane, 1.2 l) to give a partially solidified material: 15.44 g (72%). Recrystallization twice from ethanol gave 2.84 g of 1-[4-(3-bromopropoxy)-3-methoxyphenyl]phenylmethanone as white crystals, m.p.=88°-89° C.
