Benzene → Ethyl 5,5-diphenylpenta-2,4-dienoate

関与物質

反応手順

β-Phenylcinnamaldehyde (3.36 g), (carbethoxymethylene)triphenylphospholane (5.68 g), and benzoic acid (0.2 g) were added to anhydrous benzene (80 mL), and the mixture was refluxed under stirring for 3.5 hours. Subsequently, the resultant mixture was cooled to room temperature and condensed under reduced pressure. n-Hexane was added to the residue, and the insoluble matter was collected through filtration and washed several times with n-hexane. The filtrate and the resulting wash liquid were combined and condensed under reduced pressure. The product was purified through silica gel column chromatography (silica gel 40 g, eluent; n-hexane:ethyl acetate=50:1), to thereby yield 3.70 g of the product of interest (yield 82.4%).
