反応手順

A well stirred, 10°-15° C. nitrogen blanketed mixture of 10.6 g. of 6,6-dimethylfulvene, prepared above, and 12.2 g. of ethyl chloroacetate was treated dropwise over 1.5 hr. with a solution of 11.7 g. of potassium t-butoxide in 75 ml. of dry t-butyl alcohol. The reaction was stirred an additional 1.5 hr. at 10° C. and most of the alcohol was then removed at reduced pressure. Ether extraction of an aqueous solution of the residual semisolid afforded 15.2 g. of yellow oil. Subsequent distillation afforded 2.5 g. (13%) of yellow ester, b.p. 75°-80° C. (0.25 mm.). Gas chromatographically purified ester exhibited the following spectral properties: ir (film) 5.77, 8.33, 8.69, 9.24, 12.0, 12.7 μ; nmr (CCl4) τ 3.38, 3.69, 3.99 (3m, 4, --CH=CH--CH=CH--), 5.99 (q, 2, J = 7 Hz, OCH2CH3), 7.41 (s, 1, CHCO2Et), 8.47, 8.60 (6, CH3 's), 8.80 (t, 3, J = 7 Hz, OCH2CH3).
