Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide → HCID 67913779, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Into a flask were charged 80.7 mg (0.29 mmol) of 4-nonanoyloxy benzoic acid, 84.2 mg (0.27 mmol) of 4-hydroxy-4'-(2-methyloctanoyl) biphenyl, 63.5 mg (0.31 mmol) of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, 6.0 mg (0.05 mmol) of 4-dimethylamino pyridine and 5 ml of dried dichloromethane, which was heated under reflux for 6 hours. After the cooling, the resulting solid was filtered off, and washed with dichloromethane. The organic phase was washed with 0.1 normal hydrochloric acid and then water, dried on anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was distilled off. This product was purified by a column chromatography and recrystallized with ethanol to obtain 65.3 mg (yield 42%) of white 4-nonanoyloxy benzoic acid-4-(2-methyloctanoyl) biphenyl.
