Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

2.60 g (0.010 mol) of 6-(4-Isopentyloxybutyloxy)-hexanol are mixed with 1.22 g (0.010 mol) of 4-ethylphenol and 2.06 g (0.010 mol) of dicyclohexyl carbodiimide and the mixture is stirred at 100° C. over the course of 3 days. After cooling the residue is chromatographed with hexane/ethyl acetate (97:3) on silica gel, whereupon 1-ethyl-4-[6-(4-isopentyloxybutyloxy)-hexyloxy]-benzene is obtained, which according to thin layer chromatography and gas-chromatography is a pure oil.
