1-Bromodecane → 1-(Decyloxy)-4-iodobenzene

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 34.0 g of p-iodo-phenol dissolved in 350 ml of DMSO, were added 7.4 g of sodium hydroxide dissolved in 50 ml of water and stirred to obtain a homogeneous solution. Then, 32.4 g of n-decyl bromide were added and stirred at room temperature for 3 days. The resulting solution was introduced into 1 l of iced water, and extracted three times with hexane. The hexane phase was washed with water, followed by distilling off the hexane to obtain 46.6 g of oily p-n-decyloxy-iodobenzene.
