Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 316818, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Aluminum chloride (1.59 g, 11.9 mmol) was added to a dichloromethane (10 mL) solution of phenol (1.03 g, 10.9 mmol) at room temperature, and the mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 45 minutes. Cyclobutanecarboxylic acid chloride (1.33 mL, 11.7 mmol) was added dropwise to the obtained reaction mixture at room temperature, and the mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 4 hours. Further, aluminum chloride (1.58 g, 11.8 mmol) was added at room temperature, and the mixture was stirred. The aluminum chloride was confirmed to be dissolved thoroughly, and then the mixture was stood still overnight. The reaction mixture was added to hydrochloric acid under ice cooling, and the mixture was subjected to extraction once with ethyl acetate. The organic layer thus obtained was washed with brine twice, and then was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, and the resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=90:10->80:20, v/v) to give the title compound (993 mg, yield: 51%).
