Reaction Steps

Under electromagnetic stirring, to a 100 mL reaction flask hexadecanol (970 mg, 4 mmol), 4-dimethylaminopyridine (1466 mg, 12 mmo), 2-chloro-1-methylpyridinium iodide (1533 mg, 6 mmol) and dioxane (20 mL) were added, and then to the reaction solution a solution of (±)-6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchroman-2-carboxylic acid (1001 mg, 4 mmol) in dioxane (20 mL) was slowly dropwise added. The reaction mixture was reacted for 12 h at room temperature under the protection of nitrogen gas and electromagnetic stirring. The solvent (dioxane) was removed by a rotary evaporator, and thereto diethyl ether (50 mL) was added. The resulting mixture was stirred for 2 h, and the precipitate was removed by filtration. The filtrate was concentrated to 10 mL, and isolated by column chromatography (the stationary phase was 230-400 mesh silica gel, the eluent was hexane:ethyl acetate=10:1), to obtain (±)-6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchroman-2-carboxylic acid hexadecyl ester (1242 mg, yield 65.4%).
