p-Toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate → HCID 22261431, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-bromo-1-methyl-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-benzo[a]cyclohepten-5-ol (6.213 g, 24.35 mmol) and p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (0.46 g, 2.44 mmol) in toluene (100 ml) was heated under reflux in a reaction vessel equipped with a Dean-Stark trap under dehydrating conditions for 0.5 hr. After the reaction solution was cooled to room temperature, the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The obtained crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane) to give the objective substance.
