Participants

Reaction Steps

Following a procedure similar to that described in Example 1(a), 230 mg of 2-[4-(2-methoxyphenyl)butyl]phenol (prepared as described in Preparation 4), 101 mg of potassium t-butoxide and 246 mg of epibromohydrin were reacted in 15 ml of dimethylacetamide. The crude product, extracted as described in Example 1(a), was purified as described in Example 1(a), to give 260 mg (yield 93%) of the title compound as an oil.
