Iodoethane → 3-Bromo-5-ethoxyphenol

Participants

Reaction Steps

A similar procedure as described in Example 43, step 2 was used, starting from 5-bromo-benzene-1,3-diol (9.2 g, 48.67 mmol), iodoethane (8.13 g, 51.1 mmol), and lithium hydride (720 mg, 97.34 mmol) to afford 3-bromo-5-ethoxy-phenol (3.38 g, 32%) as a light yellow oil: ES(+)-HRMS m/e calcd for C8H9BrO2 (M+Na)+ 217. found 217.
