Acetonitrile → HCID 58079459, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

5-Hydroxy-isophthalic acid dimethyl ester (420 mg, 2 mmol), 15-bromo-pentadecanoic acid tert-butyl ester (755 mg, 2 mmol) and K2CO3 (415 mg, 3 mmol) were placed in a flask with acetonitrile (25 ml) and refluxed under N2. The reaction was followed by TLC (4:1 heptane/AcOEt), which indicated reaction completion after 6 h. The sample was concentrated to near dryness. AcOEt (50 ml) and water (25 ml) were added to the residue. The phases were separated and the organic phase was washed with water and brine (25 ml each), dried over MgSO4 and concentrated to yield a white crystalline solid (1.0 g, 100%).
