Benzyl Bromide → HCID 178525075, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 1.0 g of trans-4-(hydroxymethyl)cyclohexanecarboxylic acid, 20 mL of N,N-dimethylformamide, 1.32 g of potassium carbonate, and 0.24 g of tetrabutylammonium iodide was added dropwise 0.83 mL of benzyl bromide at room temperature, followed by stirring overnight. The reaction liquid was filtered and then the filtrate was concentrated. To the residue were added ethyl acetate and water, and the aqueous layer was separated. The organic layer was washed with water, a saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution, a saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, and saturated brine in this order, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and then the solvent was evaporated to obtain 1.70 g of benzyl trans-4-(hydroxymethyl)cyclohexane carboxylate.
