Reaction Steps

A solution of sodium hydroxide (7.1 g) in water (7.1 g) and benzyltriethylammonium chloride (0.4 g) was added to a mixture of 4-fluoronitrobenzene (14.1 g) and 1,1,7-trihydryl-F-heptanol (36 g). The whole was stirred and heated at about 60° C. for about 6 hours. The product was recrystallized from an ethanol/petroleum ether mixture to give 4-(1,1,7-trihydryl-F-hepyloxy) nitrobenzene (37.2 g), having a melting point of 51°-53° C.
