Potassium Hydroxide → HCID 12138719, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred and cooled (0° C.) solution of potassium hydroxide (2.70 g, 48.1 mmol) in methanol (30 ml) was added a mixture of 1,4-benzodioxan-6-carboxaldehyde (8.20 g, 50.0 mmol) and the product from Example 1 (6.30 g, 45.6 mmol). The solution was stirred overnight with continued cooling and then concentrated. The residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was combined with additional ethyl acetate extracts, washed with aqueous sodium chloride and dried (magnesium sulfate). Concentration afforded crude product as a golden, glassy solid. Flash chromatography over silica (ethyl acetate) yielded 9.40 g (68%) of product as a colorless glassy solid. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 6.99 (s, 1H), 6.90–6.78 (m, 3H), 6.00 (d, J=7.3, 1H), 4.58, (d, J=7.3, 1H), 4.26 (s, 4H), 3.95–3.87 (m, 1H), 3.55–3.41 (m, 3H), 2.04–1.80 (m, 4H) ppm.
