Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 22.8 parts of 2,4-dihydroxyphenyl benzyl ketone, 22.1 parts of isodecyl bromide, 27.6 g. anhydrous potassium carbonate and 250 parts of dry acetone was stirred under reflux for 3 days. After cooling and filtering the filtrates were evaporated to dryness, the residue dissolved in petrol ether and the solution filtered. The filtrates well washed with 4 × 50 parts of N sodium hydroxide solution followed by 5 × 100 parts of water. The dried petrol solution was evaporated to give 26.2 parts of 2-hydroxy-4-isodecyloxyphenyl benzyl ketone as a dark, viscous oil.
