1-Bromohexane → 4-(Hexyloxy)benzoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

The same procedure as in the synthesis of 4-octyloxy benzoic acid of Example 26 was repeated except that bromohexane was used instead of bromooctane to obtain 4-hexyloxy benzoic acid. This 4-hexyloxy benzoic acid was condensed with (+)-4-(2-methyloctanoyl) phenol in the same manner as in the synthesis of 4-(2-methyloctanoyl) phenyl, 4-octyloxy benzoic acid ester of Example 26 to synthesize 4-(2-methyloctanoyl) phenyl, 4-hexyloxy benzoic acid ester having the aforementioned physical and chemical properties.
