Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To 16.7 g of the so-obtained 2'-hydroxy-3'-isopentyl-4',6'-dimethoxyacetophenone and 1.5 g of sodium hydride was added 130 ml of dimethylformamide, and 9.9 g of methyl α-bromoacetate was further added and the mixture was stirred for 1.5 hours at 0° C. and for 2 hours at room temperature to effect reaction. After the reaction, the reaction mixture was made acidic by dilute hydrochloric acid, extracted with diethyl ether and filtered. The solvent was removed from the filtrate by distillation. The obtained residue was subjected to the silica gel column chromatography [230-400 mesh silica gel, eluting solvent=n-hexane/ethyl acetate (4/1)] to obtain 14.9 g (yield=70.3%) of 3'-isopentyl-4',6'-dimethoxy-2'-methoxycarbonylmethoxyacetophenone.
