反応手順

A mixture of 2.91 g of 1-(2,4-dihydroxy-3-propylphenyl)ethanone, 2.91 g of ethyl 4-bromobutyrate and 3.1 g of anhydrous potassium carbonate in 35 ml of anhydrous dimethyl formamide was stirred and heated at 75° for 12 hours. The solvent was removed in vacuo, the residue was treated with water and the product was extracted with ethyl acetate. The dried (over magnesium sulfate) extract was concentrated in vacuo and the crude product was purified by chromatography on 200 g of silica gel. Elution with 5% ethyl acetate-toluene gave 2.55 g (54% yield) of 4-(4-acetyl-3-hydroxy-2-propylphenoxy)butanoic acid ethyl ester, the titled compound, as an oil.
