Potassium Carbonate → HCID 20197276, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3.10 g of 1-(2,4-dihydroxy-3-propylphenyl)ethanone, 3.13 g of 1-bromo-6-chloro-2-hexyne and 3.30 g of anhydrous potassium carbonate in 35 ml of anydrous acetone was stirred at reflux for 2.5 hours. The solvent was removed in vacuo, water was added to the residue and the pH was adjusted to 4.0. The product was extracted with ether and the dried (over magnesium sulfate) extract was chromatographed on 250 g of silica gel. Elution with 25% ethyl acetate-hexane gave 4.30 g (88% yield) of 6-(4-acetyl-3-hydroxy-2-propylphenoxy)-1-chloro-4-hexyne, the titled compound.
