反応手順

Pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) (12.9 g, 30 mmol) was suspended in 30 mL dichloromethane in a 200 mL round bottom flask. Crude bis(3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)methanol from above (compound A) was suspended in 30 mL dichloromethane then added to the chromate suspension. The dark solution was allowed to stir at ambient temperature for 18 hours then diluted with ether. After decantation, the organic solution was washed twice with 1N NaOH, twice with 10% HCl, saturated NaHCO3, and then with brine. It was dried over anhydrous MgSO4, filtered and concentrated to give a brownish yellow solid. The brownish yellow solid was purified by column chromatography using 50% acetone/hexane as eluent giving the product as a yellow solid in 63% yield over 2 steps: IR (cm−1): 2960, 2938, 2834, 1660, 1592, 1456, 1425, 1349, 1304, 1205, 1157, 1066, 744; 1H NMR (250 MHz, C6D6): δ 3.21 (s, 12H), 6.67 (t, J=2.2 Hz, 2H), 7.21 (d, J=2.5 Hz, 4H); 13C NMR (63 MHz, C6D6): 54.9 (4C), 105.3 (2C), 108.0 (4C), 140.2 (2C), 161.1 (4C), 195.2.
