Participants

Reaction Steps

The title compound is prepared by allylating 3-ethyl-4-hydroxy-5-methyl-benzaldehyde which is prepared from 2-ethyl-6-methyl-phenol following literature procedures (see 3-ethyl-4,N-dihydroxy-5-methyl-benzamidine). The aldehyde is then transformed into the corresponding hydroxyamidine according to literature procedures (see 3-ethyl-4,N-dihydroxy-5-methyl-benzamidine); LC-MS: tR=0.72 min; [M+1]+=235.09; 1H NMR (CD3OD): δ 7.31 (s, 1 H), 7.29 (s, 1 H), 6.10 (m, 1 H), 5.43 (dd, J=17.0, 1.5 Hz, 1 H), 5.27 (dd, J=10.3, 1.2 Hz, 1 H), 4.81 (s br, 3 H), 4.31 (d, J=5.6 Hz, 2H), 2.67 (q, J=7.6 Hz, 2 H), 2.30 (s, 3 H), 1.23 (t, J=7.6 Hz, 4 H).
