Methyl 2,6-dimethylbenzoate → Methyl 2-(cis-3-hydroxycyclohexyloxymethyl)-6-methylbenzoate

温度

5 °C

10.0 g (86 mmol) of cis-1,3-cyclohexanediol were taken up in 150 ml of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), admixed at approx. 20° C. with 6.72 g (59.9 mmol) of potassium tert-butoxide (KOtBu) and stirred. After about 30 minutes, the suspension was cooled to 5° C. and admixed dropwise with 7.4 g (approx. 50%) of methyl 2-bromomethyl-6-methylbenzoate, which may be prepared, for example, by methanolyzing the acid bromide (2-bromomethyl-6-methylbenzoyl bromide) or by brominating methyl 2,6-dimethylbenzoate. The mixture was stirred at 0–5° C. for 1 h, heated to 20–23° C. and left to stir overnight. Water was added, the mixture was stirred vigorously, the phases were separated, the organic phase was washed once more with water and then the organic phase was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue (4.6 g) was chromatographed on silica gel (1:1 ethyl acetate/n-heptane). 1.2 g of the desired compound were obtained as a light yellow oil, 1H NMR (CDCl3), δ =1.27 (m, 1H), 1.45 (m, 1H), 1.55 (m, 1H), 1.74 (m, 1H), 1.82 (m, 1H), 2.05 (m, 1H), 2.34 (s, 3H), 3.46 (m, 1H), 3.72 (m, 1H), 3.91 (s, 3H), 4.58 (dd, 2H), 7.15 (d, 1H), 7.20 (d, 2H), 7:27 (m, 1H).
