1,3-Dibromopropane → 1,3-Bis(4-fluoro-2-iodophenoxy)propane

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 15.00 g (63.03 mmol) of 4-fluoro-2-iodophenol (P7), Preparation 7 and 6.40 g (31.68 mmol) of 1,3-dibromopropane in 200 mL of acetone add 26.00 g (188.4 mmol) of potassium carbonate. Reflux the resulting reaction mixture for 24 hours. Cool the reaction mixture to room temperature, filter it, and concentrate the filtrate by rotary evaporation. Crystallize the resulting solid from acetonitrile to yield 12.00 g (74%) of (P8) as a white crystalline solid.
