Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2,6-dichloro-5'-hydroxy-4'-methoxy-2'-methylbenzophenone (Compound 5; 1.0 g, 3.2 mmol), n-propyl bromide (0.5 g, 4 mmol), potassiumcarbonate (2.8 g, 20 mmol) and ethanol (10 ml) is stirred for 6 h at 80° C., filtered and the filtrate is evaporated in vacuo. The residue is applied onto a flash chromatography column (silica gel, 30 g). Elution with toluene (750 ml) yields Compound 6 as a brown oil, 800 mg, (70.7% y) which slowly crystallizes (mp 73°-75° C.)
