Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 57747226, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

6.6 g (117 mmol) of potassium hydroxide are dissolved in 130 ml of ethanol and stirred for one hour. Then 10.0 g (29.3 mmol) of 2-bromo-1-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-propan-1-one dissolved in 20 ml of n-methylpyrrolidone is added at room temperature while stirring. After stirring for 20 hours the reaction mixture is cooled with an ice bath and 5 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid and 150 ml of water is added. Then ethanol is evaporated, 200 ml of ethylacetate added and the water phase split off. The organic phase is washed with 100 ml of brine, dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated. The residue is purified by column chromatography and crystallisation of the pure fractions from hexane to give 4.1 g (45%) of compound 115; m.p. 64° C.
