Hydroxyphenylacetic acid → HCID 23369908, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid (6.08 g), 3,3,5,5-tetramethylcyclohexyl alcohol (6.24 g) , p-toluenesulfonic acid (1 g) and benzene (300 mL) was refluxed for 8 hours with continuous water separation. The mixture was cooled and washed with 10% Na2CO3, then with water. Drying over MgSO4 and evaporation in vacuo yielded 12.3 g of 3,3,5,5-tetramethylcyclohexyl 4-hydroxyphenylacetate. That product, which can be represented by the structural formula ##STR26## is characterized by the following NMR (CDCl3, TMS, ppm): 7,00(d, J=8 Hz, 2H), 6,60(d, J=8 Hz, 2H), 5.00(broad, 1H), 3,40(s, 2H) and 1.8-0.80(m, 18H),
