Reaction Steps

A mixture of 156 g (0.743 mole) of dimethyl 5-hydroxyisophthalate, 171 g (1 mole) of benzylbromide and 138 g (1 mole) of K2CO3 in 1 l. of acetone was refluxed for 18 hours. The reaction mixture was evaporated to a residue which was extracted with hot cyclohexane to give the crystalline product in a quantitive yield upon cooling. The analytical sample was obtained by recrystallization from cyclohexane, mp. 94-95° .
