Participants

Reaction Steps

4'-Hydroxybiphenyl-4-carboxylic acid (3.5 g) and triethylamine (2.4 g) were dissolved in dichloromethane (30 ml). Nonanoyl chloride (4.3 g) and dimethylaminopyridine (0.2 g) were added to the solution, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for about 20 hours. Dilute hydrochloric acid was added thereto, and the organic layer was separated in a separating funnel. The solvent was removed by evaportaion, and the residue was dried after washing with n-hexane to give the titled compound (5 g).
