Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A 64 mg amount of N-(2,2,4,6-tetramethyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-7-yl)-2,2-dimethyldodecaneamide (434) was dissolved in 0.5 ml of acetic anhydride, and 24 mg of nitric acid was slowly added to the solution while cooling the solution to 0° C. The mixture, as such, was allowed to react at 0° C. for one hour with stirring. The reaction solution was diluted with 5 ml of ice-cold water, 10 ml of a saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution was added thereto to effect neutralization, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (20 ml×twice). The organic layer was washed with water and brine in that order and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was removed by evaporation, and 72 mg of the resultant crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate) to provide 56 mg of the intended tittle compound. The yield was 78%.
