Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 4-iodophenol (3 g, 13.64 mmol), 1-bromopropane (1.845 g, 15.00 mmol), and sodium carbonate (7.54 g, 54.5 mmol) in DMF (30 mL) was stirred at 80° C. for 4 hrs. The reaction mixture was diluted with water (250 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (3×75 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with 0.5M NaOH (2×50 mL), and water (2×50 mL), and then dried over MgSO4. The solvent was removed. The crude product (3.11 g) was obtained, which was directly used for the next reaction without further purification. 1H NMR (400 MHz, chloroform-d) δ 7.61-7.53 (m, 2H), 6.74-6.67 (m, 2H), 3.90 (t, J=6.5 Hz, 2H), 1.88-1.76 (m, 2H), 1.05 (t, J=7.4 Hz, 3H).
