Participants

Reaction Steps

8.80 g (42 mmole) of methyl 6-bromohexanoate, 8.20 g (42 mmole) of 4-hydroxy-4'-cyanobiphenyl, 20 ml dimethyl formamide and 5.8 g (42 mmole) potassium carbonate were placed in a 100 ml flask equipped with a calcium chloride drying tube, and stirred at room temperature for 24 hours, after which time the mixture was poured into water and the suspended solids filtered out and washed with water. The resultant product was dried in a vacuum desiccator for 48 hours to yield 11.50 g (85%) of the ester which was recrystallized from aqueous ethanol to yield a product with a melting point of 80° C.-81° C.
