Abstract

3-(4-Bromophenyl)-l-butanol*(13). p-Bromoacetophenone was converted into 3-(4- bromophenyl) b~ tanoic~~ acid in high overall yield as described13 except that a better yield (82%) in the reaction of 1-(4-bromophenyl) ethyl bromide with diethyl sodiomalonate was obtained when run at 0-5" C for 12 h with 0.001 mol of dicyclohexyl-18-crown-6 ether followed by 12 h at room temperature. Reduction of 3-(4-bromophenyl) butanoic acid with ...
