Potassium Carbonate → HCID 14368485, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2,6-di(acetamido)benzyl acetate (0.97 g) in methanol (70 ml) was added an aqueous solution (1.8 ml) of potassium carbonate (608 mg) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. After methanol was evaporated under reduced pressure, the resultant residue was subjected to column chromatography on silica gel (18 g) and eluted with a mixture of chloroform and methanol (20:1) to give 2,6-di(acetamido)benzyl alcohol (0.67 g).
