Representative Procedure for the Synthesis of 1-(2-Bromoethoxy)-3-pentadecyl-benzene (7a) is as follows: Compound 5a (4.00 g, 13.16 mmol) was heated with stirring at 70 °C with 1,2-dibromoethane(6) (15 mL). After complete dissolution of 5a, potassium hydroxide (1.11 g, 19.78 mmol) was added to the solution and the mixture was stirred for 6 h. The progress of the reaction was monitored by TLC analysis until the complete disappearance of 5a and then the mixture was cooled to r.t. and filtered to remove the colorless solid formed. The filtered solution was purified by chromatography on a silica gel column, eluting first with petroleum ether (40-60 °C) to recover the unreacted 1,2-dibromoethane, and then with Et2O/petroleum ether (3:7), to obtain product 7a in 90% yield.
Compound 7a: colorless powder; mp 43-44 °C. FT-IR (neat): 2922, 2852, 1603, 1584, 1487, 1447, 1255, 1157, 1024, 874 cm-1. MS (EI, 70 eV): m/z (%) = 412 (35) [M+ + 2], 410 (34) [M+], 217 (10), 216 (95), 215 (36), 214 (100). 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ = 0.85 (t, J = 6.8 Hz, 3 H), 1.25-1.27 (m, 24 H), 1.57 (qn, J = 7.6 Hz, 2 H), 2.55 (t, J = 7.6 Hz, 2 H), 3.60 (t, J = 6.3 Hz, 2 H), 4.25 (t, J = 6.3 Hz, 2 H), 6.67-6.70 (m, 1 H), 6.71-6.73 (m, 1 H), 6.76-6.80 (m, 1 H), 7.16 (t, J = 7.8 Hz, 1 H) ppm. 13C NMR (CDCl3): δ = 14.58, 23.15, 29.64, 29.77, 29.78, 29.82, 29.96, 29.99, 30.04, 30.11, 30.12, 30.14, 30.15, 31.82, 32.38, 36.43, 68.17, 112.02, 115.48, 122.06, 129.69, 145.28, 158.51 ppm.

Representative Procedure for the Synthesis of 4-[2-(3-Pentadecylphenoxy)-ethoxy]-benzaldehyde (9a) is as follows: To 7a (3.00 g, 7.30 mmol) dissolved in acetone (15 mL) 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (8) (1.33 g, 10.9 mmol) and potassium carbonate (3.03 g, 21.9 mmol) were added. The mixture was stirred under reflux for 24 h. The mixture was cooled to r.t. and filtered to remove the colorless solid formed. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure and the crude material was purified by chromatography on a silica gel column, eluting with Et2O/petroleum ether (3:7), to obtain product 9a in 60% yield.
Compound 9a: colorless powder; mp 72 °C. FT-IR (neat): 2952, 2918, 2848, 1681, 1606, 1582, 1463, 1247, 1167, 1066, 929, 838 cm-1. MS (EI, 70 eV): m/z (%) = 452 (45) [M+], 256 (16), 149 (42), 135 (59), 121 (67), 108 (100). 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ = 0.84 (t, J = 6.8 Hz, 3 H), 1.20-1.25 (m, 24 H), 1.54-1.59 (m, 2 H), 2.53 (t, J = 7.6 Hz, 2 H), 4.29-4.38 (m, 4 H), 6.71-6.78 (m, 3 H), 7.01 (d, J = 8.7 Hz, 2 H), 7.16 (t, J = 7.7 Hz, 1 H), 7.80 (d, J = 8.7 Hz, 2 H), 9.85 (s, 1 H) ppm. 13C NMR (CDCl3): δ = 14.55, 23.11, 28.90, 29.76, 29.79, 29.94, 30.02, 30.08, 30.10, 30.12, 31.81, 32.35, 66.49, 67.30, 111.90, 115.33, 121.93, 129.67, 130.62, 132.40, 145.24, 158.84, 164.09, 191.22 ppm.
