Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-allyloxybromobenzene (42.24 g, 198.3 mmol), 4-fluorophenol (14.82 g, 132.2 mmol), potassium carbonate (27.41 g, 198.3 mmol) and copper (4.20 g, 66.1 mmol) in pyridine (200 mls) was refluxed for 2 days. It was then filtered through Celite and diluted with ethylacetate(500 mls). The organic was then washed with water (3×200 mls), dried with MgSO4 and concentrated. The resulting residue was chromatographed (silica gel, hexanes:ether, 99.75:0.25) to afford 15.85 g (49%) of 4-(4-fluorophenoxy)allyloxybenzene as a lemon yellow oil.
