Procedure: iso-Pentyloxybenzene (Ib) and P4S10 (in a molar ratio of 10:1) were stirred for six hours at 150° C. under anhydrous conditions. The mixture was cooled, hexane was added, and the reaction flask was left for two days at 5° C. The resulting precipitate was recovered by filtration, washed with anhydrous hexane and dried. The yield of product was 27% of theory; after recrystallization from chloroform/petroleum ether it melted at 150°-2° C. Its solubility in tetrahydrofuran was found to be 5 gms/100 ml at room temperature. The mixture was cooled The resulting precipitate was recovered by filtration washed with anhydrous hexane dried after recrystallization from chloroform/petroleum ether it melted at 150°-2° C at room temperature

Procedure: Phenol (0.5 mole) was added to a solution of sodium ethoxide in ethanol (2 N; 250 ml) and 1-bromo-3-methylbutane (0.5 mole) was added dropwise while stirring. The mixture was heated under reflux for three hours and most of the solvent was then distilled off. Water was added to the residue and the organic layer was separated, washed twice with 10% aqueous NaOH, water, dilute H2SO4 and water, and was then dried over MgSO4. It was distilled in vacuo to give the title compound, b.p. 89°-92° C. at 14 mm Hg pressure. The identity and purity was confirmed by thin layer chromatography (TLC) and NMR and IR spectroscopy. was added dropwise The mixture was heated under reflux for three hours and most of the solvent was then distilled off Water was added to the residue the organic layer was separated washed twice with 10% aqueous NaOH, water, dilute H2SO4 and water was then dried over MgSO4 It was distilled in vacuo
