Participants

Reaction Steps

22.29 g (0.1 mol) of 2-bromo-6-naphthol, 11.22 g (0.2 mol) of potassium hydroxide, and 32.36 g (0.13 mol) of 1-bromododecane were dissolved in ethanol (300 ml), and the solution was refluxed for 8 hr. Thereafter, water was added thereto, the mixture was cooled, and the resultant precipitate was collected by filtration and washed with a sodium hydroxide solution and then with water. The crude product thus obtained was recrystallized from ethyl acetate to give 2-bromo-6-dodecyloxynaphthalene.
