Reaction Steps

1,4-cyclohexanediol (20.0 g, 172.4 mmol) was dissolved in dichloromethane (200 mL). Cinnamoyl chloride (7.2 g, 43.1 mmol) dissolved in 50 ml dichloromethane was then slowly added. After 2 h of mixing, triethyl amine (5.3 g, 52 mmol) was added slowly. After 48 h of mixing, the solution was washed three times with dilute HCl (1 M) and two more times with H2O before it was dried over MgSO4 and filtered. The product was then dissolved in methanol which resulted in precipitation of the byproduct. After filteration and evaporating the solvents from the filtrate, the product was a obtained as yellow-orange viscous liquid, which was used without further purification. Yield: 25-40%.
