Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

3,4,5-Tri(octadecyloxy)benzylchloride (93.6 g, wet, <90.8 mmol), 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde (15.2 g, 0.10 mol) and potassium carbonate (31.4 g, 0.23 mol) were suspended in DMF (830 ml), and the suspension was stirred at 80° C. overnight. The reaction mixture was dissolved in chloroform (1600 ml), and the mixture was washed 3 times with 1N hydrochloric acid (800 ml), once with 5% aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution (800 ml), and once with 20% brine (800 ml). The solvent was evaporated, and the residue was precipitated with methanol (800 ml) and washed with acetonitrile (800 ml) to give 4-methoxy-2-[3′,4′,5′-tris(octadecyloxy)benzyloxy]benzaldehyde (93.5 g, 89.2 mmol, 98%).
