Homovanillic Acid → 4-(Acetyloxy)-3-methoxybenzeneacetic acid
Participants
| Role | Name | HCID | Charge |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reactant | Homovanillic Acid | HCID 1738 | — |
| Reactant | Acetic Anhydride | HCID 7918 | — |
| Solvent | Water | HCID 962 | — |
| Product | 4-(Acetyloxy)-3-methoxybenzeneacetic acid | HCID 226484 | — |
Reaction Steps
Specifically, acetic anhydride (120 mL) was added to 30.0 g (165 mmol) homovanillic acid and the mixture was allowed to reflux for 6 hours. The solvent was evaporated, leaving an oil which was poured into 1L H2O and allowed to stir overnight. The solid was collected and dried in vacuo to give 33.1 g of 4-acetoxy-3-methoxyphenylacetic acid.
