반응 단계

Pyridinium chlorochromate (3.3 g) and sodium acetate (0.5 g) were suspended in dichloromethane (2.5 ml). To the suspension was added a solution of 6-(10-hydroxydecyl)-2,3-dimethoxy-5-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone (3.38 g) in dichloromethane (20 ml) at room temperature. The mixture was stirred for an hour. Then, additional amount of pyridinium chlorochromate (1 g) and sodium acetate (0.5 g) were added and the mixture was stirred for another 1.5 hours. The reaction mixture was poured into an ice water and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was treated in a conventional manner and the residue obtained was purified by column chromatography using silica gel. Elution was carried out with dichloroethane-ethyl acetate (9:1) and then with carbon tetrachloride-ethyl acetate (9:1), and the eluate was recrystallized from ethyl acetate-hexane to give 6-(9-formylnonyl)-2,3-dimethoxy-5-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone (1.3 g), melting at 44.5°-46.5° C.
