Participants

Reaction Steps

5 g of sodium carbonate was added to a solution of 2.8 g of N-(cis-4-methylcyclohexyl)-4-acetoxy-3-methoxycinnamamide (Example 104) in 100 ml of methanol. The solution was stirred for 2 hours at room temperature. After reaction, 2N hydrochloric acid was added to the reaction solution, acidifying the solution. The solution was extracted three times with 90 ml of ethyl acetate. The organic layer obtained was washed twice with an aqueous sodium chloride solution and dried over magnesium sulfate. Thereafter, the solvent was removed in vacuo. The product obtained was recrystallized from ethyl acetate/hexane, yielding 2.2 g of N-(cis-4-methylcyclohexyl)-4-hydroxy-3-methoxycinnamamide (a compound of the present invention) as white crystal, which had the following physiochemical properties:
