Isopropyl iodide → HCID 43657408, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

5.0 g 3-Fluoro-4-hydroxy-benzonitrile, 7.3 mL isopropyl iodide and 6.05 g potassium carbonate were placed in 54 mL acetone and heated to reflux where the reaction was maintained for 24 h. After this time, the mixture was cooled to ambient temperature and concentrated under reduced pressure. The material that remained was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water and the aqueous phase was removed and extracted with additional ethyl acetate. The combined organics were dried, filtered and the solvent was removed from the filtrate under reduced pressure to give the title compound that was used without further purification.
