2-Naphthol → HCID 58922276, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

5 g of 2-hydroxycarbonylmethyl-4(R)-tetrahydropyranyloxy-2-cyclopenten-1-one (21 mmol) obtained from Example 44, 2-naphthol (4.7 g, 32 mmol), dichloromethane (50 ml), and 0.2 g 4-(dimethylamine)pyridine were added together to a 50 ml dichloromethane solution containing 1,3-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (7 g, 34 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for about 4 hours. The precipitate was filtered off. The filtrate was washed with 20 ml of diluted hydrochloride solution, water, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered, and evaporated under vacuum. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel to give the titled compound as white solid (3.8g, 64%). MP: 75° C.; [α]D+29.3° (c 1.0, CH3CN); 1H-NMR (CDCl3/TMS): δ 7.10˜7.90 (m, 8H), 4.72˜5.11 (m, 2H), 3.90 (m, 1H), 3.60 (m, 3H), 2.89 (m, 1H), 2.35˜2.60 (m, 1H), 1.40˜1.92 (m, 6H).
