Abstract
1: A solution of hydroquinone (6.5 g, 59 mmol), 1-chlorooctane (20 mL, 118 mmol), and K2CO3 (32.6 g, 236 mmol) in DMF (240 mL) was heated for 5 d at 90°C. The product was isolated by extraction with light petroleum, washed with H2O, dried over Na2SO4, and evaporated to afford 1 as white solid (14 g, 71%). M.p. 56-57°C (light petroleum); 1H NMR (360 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 6.82 (s, 1H), 3.89 (t, J = 6.6 Hz, 2H), 1.75 (p, J = 6.7 Hz, 2H), 1.44 (p, J = 6.7 Hz, 2H), 1.31-1.28 (m, 8H), 0.88 (t, J = 6.6 Hz, 3H); 13C NMR (90 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 153.2, 115.4, 68.7, 31.8, 29.4, 29.2, 26.0, 22.6, 14.1.
