Potassium Iodide → HCID 20207220, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 5.3 g. of 1-(3-chlorophenyl)-1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-propan-1-ol and 3.8 g. of monobromoacetic acid ethyl ester in 60 ml. of dry acetone is boiled in the presence of 0.8 g. of potassium iodide and 6 g. of anhydrous potassium carbonate for 5 hours, with stirring. After cooling the reaction mixture solvent is distilled off under reduced pressure, to the residue water is added and it is extracted with benzene. The benzene phase is extracted with water and a 5% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution, washed to neutral with water and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. Benzene is then distilled off in vacuo and the residue is crystallized from n-hexane. 5.6 g. of the named compound are obtained, melting at 83°-84° C.
