Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 178442372, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

20 mL of concentrated hydrochloric acid was added to a solution of 1-cyano-1-(trans-4-methoxycyclohexyl)-4-decanol (49) (5.1 g, 17.4 mmol) obtained in the third step dissolved in 200 mL of 1,3-dioxane, and refluxed under heating for 20 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and then put in 100 mL of water, and then extracted with 100 mL of ethyl acetate. The resulting organic layer was washed with water (100 mL×2) and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by column chromatography (developing solvent: heptane/ethyl acetate=20/1, column packing: silica gel) and then recrystallized from heptane to obtain 3-(trans-4-methoxycyclohexyl)-6-hexyl-tetrahydro-2-pyranone (Compound No. 25) (2.1 g, 6.9 mmol). The resulting compound was in the form of a colorless liquid, and the yield based on the compound (49) was 40%.
