4-Bromophenacyl bromide → HCID 57222157, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of (7R)-(+)-7-(3,5,6-trimethyl-1,4-benzoquinon-2-yl)-7-phenylheptanoic acid (0.71 g, 2.0 mmoles), p-bromophenacylbromide (0.56 g, 2.0 mmoles), and potassium carbonate (0.30 g, 2.2 mmole) in acetone (15 ml) was stirred for 2.5 hours at room temperature. After the reaction was completed, the solvent was evaporated in a reduced pressure, the residue was taken up in the isopropylether. Working up in the usual manner gave the crude product, which was chromatographed on silica gel column with isopropylether to give p-bromophenacyl (7R)-(+)-7-(3,5,6-trimethyl-1,4-benzoquinon-2-yl)-7-phenylheptanoate (1.09 g, 99%) as an oil.
