Tetrahydrofuran → 4-Phenylbut-3-en-2-ol

참여 물질

반응 단계

In a 200 ml stainless steel autoclave were charged 5 g (34.2 mmole) of benzalacetone and 0.213 g (0.171 mmole) of ##STR24## ((+)-BINAP)}BF4 synthesized in Example 4, and 3 ml of tetrahydrofuran and 2 ml of methanol were added thereto, followed by allowing the mixture to react at 30° C. under a hydrogen pressure of 50 kg/cm2 for 45 hours. The solvent was removed by distillation under reduced pressure (10 mmHg), and the reaction product was analyzed by GLC (PEG HT, 25 m, produced by Gasukuro Kogyo K. K.) to find the conversion to be 34.5%. The product was separated into the unreacted ketone and the hydrogenation product by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: hexane/ethyl acetate=4/1 by volume) to obtain 1.73 g of 4-phenyl-3-buten-2-ol having a purity of 89%. {α}25 D : +18.1°(c=5, CS2).
