Participants

Reaction Steps

10 g of 3-(m-methoxyphenyl)-2-cyclohexen-1-ol obtained by reducing 3-(m-methoxyphenyl)-2-cyclohexene-1-one with sodium borohydride, are dissolved in 100 ml of xylene, whereupon 12 g of N,N-dimethylacetamide dimethyl acetal are added, and the mixture is boiled at reflux for 8 hours. After distillation of the solvent, the oil remaining behind is chromatographed on a 30-fold amount of silica gel. The fractions which are uniform in accordance with thin-layer chromatography and which are produced by elution with methylene chloride, are combined and evaporated, and there is obtained pure 1-(m-methoxyphenyl)-N,N-dimethyl-3-cyclohexene-1-acetamide in the form of a pale yellowish oil.
