반응 단계

Orcinol monohydrate (7.10 g, 50 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (20 mL) was added dropwise to NaH (2.4 g, 100 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (60 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 20 min. Benzyl bromide (8.55 g, 50 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (20 mL) was then added, and the reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 2 hours. Water (100 mL) was added carefully followed by extraction by ethyl acetate (3×100 mL). The organic phase was washed with brine (2×50 mL), dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography (3:1 hexane/ethyl acetate) to give the title compound as a yellow oil (3.40 g, 32%). 1H-NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.39 (m, 5 H), 6.40 (s, 1 H), 6.29 (s, 1 H), 6.26 (s, 1 H), 5.00 (s, 2 H), 4.89 (s, 1 H), 2.26 (s, 3 H).
