Reaktionsschritte

Under argon atmosphere, a solution of 0.45 g (3.33 mmol) of 2,6-dimethyl-p-benzoquinone in 3 mL of THF was added dropwise while stirring at 0˜5° C. The mixture was stirred at 20˜25° C. for 1 hour. 5 mL of 1N hydrochloric acid was added dropwise at 20° C. or lower, followed by dilution with 25 mL of ethyl acetate. Then, the layers were separated. The organic layer was washed successively with 5 mL (×2) of 1N hydrochloric acid, 5 mL of water, 10 mL (×2) of an aqueous saturated sodium bicarbonate solution, and 5 mL (×2) of an aqueous saturated sodium chloride solution. After washing, the organic layer was dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate. After concentration under reduced pressure, purification with silica gel column (developing solvent; ethyl acetate/n-hexane=1/3) afforded 0.60 g of the desired product (yield 80%).
