Resorcinol → 4-Cyclohexylresorcinol

関与物質

反応手順

Resorcinol (2.2 g, 0.02 moles) was mixed with cyclohexanol (1 g, 0.01 moles) and zinc (II) chloride (0.48 g, 0.0035 moles) and the reaction mixture heated to 150° with stirring. After heating 2 hours, the reaction mixture was allowed to cool and then dissolved in ethyl acetate. Washed with water and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulphate. The solvent was evaporated to give a brown oil (3.0 g). Excess resorcinol was evaporated by heating in a Kugelrohr oven under reduced pressure (200°, 2 mmHg). Purified using a silica column eluted with ethyl acetate:isohexane 2:8 to give the product as a yellow oil (0.5 g). Trituration with isohexane gave the product as a white solid (0.2 g).
