Potassium Iodide → HCID 20135229, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 100 ml of cyclohexanone were dissolved 4 g of the obtained methyl 4-hydroxy-4'-biphenylcarboxylate and 4 g of n-decyl bromide. To the solution were added 10 g of potassium carbonate and 10 g of potassium iodide, and reaction was carried out under reflux for 10 hours. The formed precipitate was removed from the reaction mixture by filtration, the filtrate was concentrated under a reduced pressure, and the separation of reactants was carried out by using a silica gel column and benzene as an eluant to obtain 2.5 g of methyl 4-n-decyloxybiphenyl-4'-carboxylate.
