1,5-Dibromopentane → HCID 14327270, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3.0 g 6-(4-hydroxyphenoxy)-2,2-dimethylhexanamide, 50 ml ethanol, 2.5 g potassium carbonate and 3.6 g 1,5-dibromopentane was heated under reflux overnight with stirring. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, the residue was extracted with chloroform, the extract was washed with water and worked up as usual. The crude product thus obtained was purified by silica gel column chromatography, affording 2.90 g of 6-[p-(5-bromopentyloxy)phenoxy]-2,2-dimethylhexanamide.
