Chloroacetaldehyde → 4,5,6,7-Tetrahydro-1-benzofuran-4-one

関与物質

反応手順

To a mixture of 10 ml of ethyl acetate, 2 ml of 40% aqueous solution of chloroacetaldehyde and about 3 ml of water was added 1.0 g (12 mmoles) of sodium hydrogencarbonate while cooling with ice, and then the resulting mixture was stirred. To the reaction mixture was added dropwise 5 ml of aqueous solution containing 1.12 g of 1,3-cyclohexanedione while cooling with ice at a rate of 0.05 ml/minute. The reaction mixture was maintained at a pH of from 6.2 to 8.7 throughout the reaction. After completing the dropping, the reaction mixture was stirred at a room temperature overnight, and then acidified with sulfuric acid. After stirring the mixture for one hour, the ethyl acetate layer was separated, washed with an aqueous solution of potassium carbonate for removing the unreacted 1,3-cyclohexanedione, and then dried on magnesium sulfate. After distilling away the solvent, the residue was applied to a column of silica gel and eluted with dichloromethane to give 1.09 g (yield: 80%) of 4-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzofuran.
