Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of p-nitrophenyl 7-(3,5,6-trimethyl-1,4-benzoquinon-2yl)-7-phenyl-heptanate (0.71 g, 1.5 mmoles) in tetrahydrofuran (7 ml) was added concentrated ammonia (1.0 ml) at room temperature and kept stirring for 4 hours. After the reaction was completed, the solvent was evaporated in a reduced pressure. To the residue was added aqueous potassium carbonate and then extracted with ethylacetate. The organic layer was washed with water, dried over magnesium sulfate. Evaporation of the solvent gave 7-(3,5,6-trimethyl-1,4-benzoquinon-2-yl)-7-phenylheptanamide (0.46 g, 87%)
