Cyclohexane → 2-[[(Methoxyphenyl)methyl]thio]cyclopentanecarboxylic acid

反応手順

A solution of 1-cyclopentene carboxylic acid (1.68 g., 15 mmole) and p-methoxy-α-toluenethiol (2.17 ml., 15.6 mmole) in piperidine (3.9 ml.) is flushed with argon and heated under reflux, protected by a drying tube, for 12 hours. The mixture is then partitioned between ethyl ether (100 ml.) and 1N hydrochloric acid (3×40 ml.). The organic phase is stirred with activated charcoal (about 0.5 g.), dried (MgSO4), filtered through Celite, and concentrated in vacuo to an orange-yellow oil. This oil is recrystallized successively (3 times) from cyclohexane/hexane to yield 1.75 g. of 2-[[(4-methoxyphenyl)methyl]thio]cyclopentanecarboxylic acid as a tan, granular solid; m.p. 63°-66°. TLC (silica gel, cyclohexane:acetic acid, 8:1) Rf =0.23.
