Dimethyl Sulfoxide → Anisole, m-pentadecyl-

関与物質

反応手順

Into a two-liter round bottomed flask was placed dimethyl sulfoxide (500 mL), 3-pentadecyl phenol (100.0 g, 0.33 mol) and sodium hydroxide (73.55 g, 1.31 mol). To this mixture methyl iodide (93.5 g, 0.66 mol) was added drop wise with stirring at room temperature. After the addition, the reaction mixture was stirred for further 6 h. Then the reaction mixture was poured into deionized water (1.5 liters). The organic material was extracted by addition of diethyl ether. The diethyl ether layer was separated, washed with water, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and finally evaporated to afford the crude product as a viscous liquid. This material was purified by silica gel column chromatography using petroleum ether as the eluent to obtain 3-pentadecyl anisole Yield 104.6 g (97%), MP 27-28° C.
