Colletochlorin B → HCID 11404648, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

An ethanol solution (24.5 ml) of colletochlorin B (991 mg, 3.07 mmol) described in H. Saimoto et al., Bull. Chem. Soc. Jpn., 67, 1178 (1994) was stirred in the presence of 5% Pd/C (496 mg) at 0° C. in a hydrogen atmosphere for 4.5 hours. After the catalyst was separated by filtration with the use of Celite, the filtrate was concentrated to obtain a crude product (963 mg). This product was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:diethyl ether=30:1) to obtain 3-chloro-4,6-dihydroxy-5-(3,7-dimethyloctyl)-2-methylbenzaldehyde (pale yellow solid 220 mg, yield 22%).
