Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Under an argon atmosphere, 2,3,4-trihydroxybenzophenone (1.61 g, 7.00 mmol), 1-bromooctadecane (7.32 g, 22.0 mmol) and potassium carbonate (4.35 g, 31.5 mmol) were added to dehydrating N,N-dimethylformamide (30 mL), and the mixture was stirred at 80° C. overnight. After completion of the reaction, purified water (200 mL) was added to the reaction mixture, the mixture was stirred for 1 hr, and the precipitated solid was collected by filtration. The obtained solid was slurry-washed in methanol and, after filtration, dried under reduced pressure to give the title compound (6.31 g, 91.1%) as a white solid.
