Reaction Steps

To a solution of cyanophenol (25 g) and potassium carbonate (50 g) in 2-butanone (320 ml) was added bromooctane (61 ml) at room temperature. The stirred mixture was heated under reflux until TLC revealed complete reaction, i.e. about 48 hr. The mixture was filtered, after which the solvent and excess alkyl bromide were removed in vacuo to give a colorless liquid.
