To a mixture of Capsaicin (2 g, 6.56 mmol), anhydrous K2CO3 (3 g, 22 mmol), sodium iodide (2 g, 13.3 mmol) and disodium phosphate (2 g, 14.2 mmol) in anhydrous acetone (50 ml) was added methyl 6-bromohexanoate (2 g, 9.6 mmol) and refluxed for 24 hours. Acetone was distilled off and water (15 ml) was added. Crude 12 was filtered, dried and purified by column chromatography on silica gel using benzene:ethyl acetate (9:1) to give pure 12 (1.5 g, 52.8%) as a pale white powder. The melting point was found to be 69.2-70.8° C.
