Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Anhydrous potassium carbonate (4.14 g, 30.0 mmol), iodomethane (3.74 mL, 60.0 mmol), and 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-iodopropane (1.58 g, 6.0 mmol) were added to acetone (25 mL) at rt. The mixture was heated to 70° C. for 8 h. The resulting solution was gravity filtered to remove salts and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to afford 3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-iodopropane (1.22 g, 73%).
