Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-(4-bromobutoxy)-3-propylphenyl phenyl ether (5.7 g, 15.75 mmol), methyl 3-chloro-4-hyrdoxyphenylacetate (3.0 g, 15.00 mmol) and cesium carbonate (5.38 g, 16.50 mmol) in DMF (50 mL) was stirred at 40° C. overnight. The reaction mixturewas partitioned between ethyl acetate and 0.2N HCl. The organic layer was washed twice with water, then dried over sodium sulfate. The organic layer was filtered and evaporated to an oil which was chromatographed over silica gel with 10% of ethyl acetate in hexane to afford the title compound.
