Participants

Reaction Steps

Twenty-five parts of 4-hydroxy-2-methylacetophenone, 46 parts of potassium carbonate and 34.3 parts of 1-bromoheptane were stirred in 148 parts by volume of cyclohexanone and refluxed for 2 hours. The product was filtered and the solvent evaporated leaving an oily residue. This material was distilled at 150°-152° C. at 0.09 mm Hg to obtain 34.0 parts (82.5% yield) of 4-heptyloxy-2-methylacetophenone.
