참여 물질

반응 단계

(4-tert-Butylcyclohexyl)acetic acid methyl ester (9.81 g, 46.5 mmol) was dissolved in methanol 950 ml) and cooled on an ice bath. 2M Sodium hydroxide solution (50 ml, 100 mmol) was added with stirring. When addition was complete the reaction mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and was stirred overnight. The methanol was evaporated in vacuo and the remaining aqueous phase was acidified to pH1 with 1M hydrochloric acid. The aqueous phase was then extracted with ethyl acetate(3x). The organic extracts were combined, dried over magnesium sulphate, filtered and evaporated to give a white solid, (8.66 g, 94%). 1H-NMR δ (CDCl3) (as a mixture of cis-trans isomers), 2.43 (0.1 H, d, J=8Hz), 2.24 (0.9H, d, J =7 Hz), 1.92-1.47 (5H, m), 1.18-0.90 (5H, m) and 0.87 (9H, s).
