Phosphoric Acid → HCID 22728829, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

10 g (64 mmol) of 4-cyclopentyl-2-methyl-2-butanol, 32.6 g (320 mmol) of acetic anhydride and a drop of H3PO4 (85% in water) were introduced in a 200 ml flask, and the mixture was stirred over night, at room temperature. Afterwards, 100 ml of water where added and the stirring was prolonged for an additional period of 2 hours. The crude product was extracted by washing the water solution with pentane. The organic phases thus obtained were washed twice with a saturated NaHCO3 water solution, then twice with brine and finally dried over MgSO4 and concentrated. It was thus obtained 12.7 g of crude product (quantitative yield) having a GC purity of 99%.
