反応手順

To a suspension solution containing 4.4 g of 60% NaH in 200 ml of THF, 17.8 g of ethyl 3-phenylpropionate and 8.2 g of ethyl formate were added dropwise under ice cool for one hour. Thereafter, the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 hours. Furthermore, 14 g of 60 % NaH and 25.9 g of ethyl formate were divided into three parts and each part was added separately. Afterwards, the solution mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 hours. After a 10% citric acid solution was added to the resultant reaction solution, the reaction solution was extracted with ethyl acetate and the extract was concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain 32.4 g of a brown oily concentrate. The concentrate thus obtained was purified by silica gel column chromatography to obtain 17.9 g of the titled compound as a transparent oily substance.
