Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (100 mmol, 12.2 g), 3-bromopropionyl chloride (101 mmol, 20 mL) and potasium carbonate (20.7 g, 150 mmol) in acetone (250 mL) was heated at reflux for overnight. The salt was filtered off. The solvent was evaporated. Reduced pressure distillation provided the title compound (15 g).
