Abstract

The invention relates to an improved method for producing 4-(6-bromohexyloxy) butylbenzene by reacting 4-phenylbutanol with 1,6-dibromohexane in the presence of a base and a phase transfer catalyst. 4-phenylbutanol is metered in a diluent to a mixture consisting of 1,6-dibromohexane, a base, a phase transfer catalyst, and a diluent. Also disclosed is the use of the resulting 4-(6-bromohexyloxy) butylbenzene for producing salmeterol in a previously known manner.

Claims (15)

1. Improved process for preparing 4-(6-bromohexyloxy)-butylbenzene by reacting phenylbutanol with 1,6-dibromohexane in the presence of a base and a phase transfer catalyst, characterised in that 4-phenylbutanol in a diluent is metered into a mixture consisting of 1,6-dibromohexane, a base, a phase transfer catalyst and a diluent.
2. Process according to claim 1, characterised in that powdered potassium hydroxide is used as the base.
3. Process according to claim 1 or 2, characterised in that a tetraalkylammonium or tetraalkylphosphonium salt is used as the phase transfer catalyst.
4. Process according to claim 3, characterised in that a tetraalkylammonium hydrogen sulphate is used as the phase transfer catalyst.
5. Process according to one of claims 1 to 4, characterised in that an aromatic hydrocarbon or an optionally halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbon is used as diluent.
6. Process according to claim 5, characterised in that toluene or dichloromethane is used as diluent.
7. Process according to one of claims 1 to 6, characterised in that the reaction is carried out in a temperature range from -10°C to +30°C.
8. Process according to one of claims 1 to 7, characterised in that the 4-phenylbutanol is added within 10 to 240 minutes and the resulting reaction mixture is stirred for a further 30 to 180 minutes.
9. Process according to one of claims 1 to 8, characterised in that 0.75 to 2.5 equivalents of 1,6-dibromohexane are used, based on 1 equivalent of 4-phenylbutanol.
10. Process according to one of claims 1 to 9, characterised in that 2.5 to 5.5 equivalents of base are used, based on 1 equivalent of 4-phenylbutanol.
11. Process according to one of claims 1 to 10, characterised in that 0.01 to 0.5 equivalents of phase transfer catalyst are used, based on 1 equivalent of 4-phenylbutanol.
12. Process according to one of claims 1 to 11, characterised in that the mixture of 1,6-dibromohexane, a base, a phase transfer catalyst and a diluent contains 1.5 to 4.0 parts by volume of diluent, based on 1 part of 1,6-dibromohexane.
13. Process according to one of claims 1 to 12, characterised in that the mixture of 4-phenylbutanol and diluent contains 1.5 to 10 parts by volume of diluent, based on 1 part of 4-phenylbutanol.
14. Process according to one of claims 1 to 13, characterised in that after the reaction has ended water is added to the reaction mixture, the phases are separated, the organic phase is washed with water, concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue is fractionally distilled under high vacuum.
15. Process for preparing salmeterol, characterised in that the educt 4-(6-bromohexyloxy)-butylbenzene is prepared according to one of claims 1 to 14 and further processed in a manner known per se.
