Participants

Reaction Steps

This material was prepared as a 1:1 mixture of isomers in 53% yield from the above cyanohydrin (1.10 g, 4.70 mmol) and 2-amino-p-cresol (636 mg, 5.17 mmol) using the procedure described above for compound 16. An analytical sample was obtained by recrystallization from EtOAc in hexanes (7 : 1 mixture of isomers). mp: 134-135° C.; IR (KBr) υ 1718, 1691 cm−1; 1H-NMR (400 MHz, CDC13) δ 7.47-7.09 (m, 8H), 5.47 (d, J=8.6 Hz, 1H), 5.12-4.87 (m, 4H), 4.54-4.30 (m, 1H), 2.44 (s, 3H), 1.32 and 1.13 (2×d, J=6.7 and 6.7 Hz, 3H); 13C-NMR (100.6 MHz, CDCl3) δ 165.90, 165.19, 156.09, 149.04, 140.24, 136.28, 134.38, 128.34, 128.09, 127.91, 126.32, 119.87, 119.69, 110.23, 70.84, 70.57, 66.92, 66.67, 50.48, 50.29, 21.34, 17.24, 15.32; FAB MS m/z: 341 (MH+); HRMS calcd for C19H21N2O4 (MH+) 341.1501, found: 341.1490; Anal (C19H20N2O4) C, H, N.
