Participants

Reaction Steps

Mix 4-cyanophenol (1.2 g, 10 mmol), 1-bromo-3,3-dimethylbutane (5.3 g, 32 mmol), powdered potassium carbonate (4.14 g, 30 mmol), and powdered potassium iodide (166 mg, 1 mmol) in acetone (60 mL). Stir under inert atmosphere and heat at reflux for 48 h. Cool the reaction mixture to ambient temperature. Dilute with acetone, filter and evaporate. Purify by chromatography on silica gel eluting with hexane/EtOAc (10 and 9:1) to obtain the desired intermediate (1.8 g, 89%). MS (ES+) m/z: 221 (M+NH4)+.
