Potassium Carbonate → 3,5-Dichloro-4-(3-(4-trifluoromethylphenoxy)propyloxy)-1-(3,3-dichloro-2-propenyloxy)benzene

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 0.56 g of 3,5-dichloro-4-(3-bromopropyloxy)-1-(3,3-dichloro-2-propenyloxy)benzene, 0.22 g of 4-trifluoromethylphenol, 0.21 g of potassium carbonate and 20 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide was stirred at room temperature. After stirring for 7 hours, the reaction mixture was poured into ice-water, and extracted twice with 50 ml of diethyl ether. The combined ether layer was washed with water, dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated to obtain a crude product. The crude product was subjected to silica gel chromatography, which afforded 0.48 g of 3,5-dichloro-4-(3-(4-trifluoromethylphenoxy)propyloxy)-1-(3,3-dichloro-2-propenyloxy)benzene (71% yield), nD24.4 1.5390.
