Alpha-Methylstyrene → HCID 68601851, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Methoxy-1,4-benzoquinone (30.0 g, 72 mM) and α-Methylstyrene (236 g, 2.0 M) were dissolved in 290 ml of isopropanol and refluxed for 30 hours. The reaction solution was subjected to vacuum distillation to recover isopropanol and α-Methylstyrene, and the reaction solution was concentrated. The resulting product was purified by chromatography to give to 1.38 g (5.47 mM) of 3-Methoxy-9-methyl-1,4-phenanthrenequinone.
