Water → 2-(4-methoxybenzyl)-3,5-dimethylphenyl beta-D-glucopyranoside

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 2-(4-methoxybenzyl)-3,5-dimethyl-phenyl 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (7.4 g) in ethanol (150 mL) was added 2 mol/L aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (65 mL), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. Water was added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure to give 2-(4-methoxybenzyl)-3,5-dimethylphenyl β-D-glucopyranoside (5.2 g).
