Boron tribromide → Allyl 3-{1-[4-(allyloxycarbonyl)-4-methylcyclohexyl]methoxy}-4-hydroxycinnamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

At -78° C., 0.3 ml of boron tribromide was added to a solution of 0.7 g of allyl 3-[1-(4-allyloxycarbonyl-4-methylcyclohexyl)methoxy]-4-methoxycinnamate (Example 47) in 10 ml of methylene chloride. The solution was reacted for 20 minutes in this state. After reaction, 20 ml of an aqueous ammonium chloride solution was added to the reaction solution. The solution was extracted three times with 30 ml of ethyl acetate. The oily substance obtained was washed three times with an aqueous sodium chloride solution and was dried over magnesium sulfate. Thereafter, the solvent was removed in vacuo, yielding 0.26 g of allyl 3-{1-[4-(allyloxycarbonyl)-4-methylcyclohexyl]methoxy}-4-hydroxycinnamate (a compound of the present invention) as a pale yellow oil, which had the following physiochemical properties:
