Reaction Steps

A solution of 24 g (0.12 mol) of 4-benzyloxyphenol in 100 cc of DMF is added dropwise to a 50% suspension of 6.2 g (0.132 mol) of NaH in 50 cc of DMF. When the evolution of gas has ended, a solution of 36 g (0.127 mol) of 2-cyclopentyloxyethyl tosylate in 100 cc of DMF is then added. The mixture is stirred for half an hour. It is then heated for 2 hours at 55°-60° C. with stirring. The reaction mixture is poured into iced water. Extraction is carried out with diethyl ether. The ether phase is washed with dilute sodium hydroxide solution and then with water, dried and evaporated to dryness.
