Acetic Acid → HCID 19002353, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl 2-(3,4-dimethoxybenzoyl)-5-oxo-5-phenylvalerate (compound no. 314; 7.7 g; 0.02 mole), ammonium acetate (3.1 g; 0.04 mole) and acetic acid (30 ml) is heated to reflux temperature for 4 hours. The reaction medium is poured into water (300 ml): an oil is released. The latter is extracted with ethyl acetate (200 ml). The organic solution is washed with water (3×100 ml), then dried over anhydrous magnesium sulphate and concentrated under reduced pressure. A light brown oil (4.5 g; yield: 62%) is obtained which corresponds to ethyl 2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-6-phenylnicotinate.
