Procedure

A mixture of 4-bromophenol (30.0 g, 173 mmol), potassium carbonate (26.3 g, 190 mol), sodium iodide (0.60 g, 4 mmol), 2-bromopropane (85.1 g, 0.692 mmol), and N,N-dimethylformamide (173 mL) was warmed at 60° C. for 17 hours. The solution was cooled to room temperature and water (300 mL) was added. The solution was extracted with diethyl ether. The extract was washed with aqueous sodium hydroxide, water, and aqueous sodium chloride, dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and concentrated. The product was purified by vacuum distillation to give 4-bromo-isopropoxybenzene (25.3 g, 118 mmol) as a colorless liquid.
