Potassium Hydroxide → 3-(3-Methoxyphenyl)prop-2-enamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Using 28 g of N-(trans-4-methylcyclohexyl )-4-(ethoxycarbonylmethoxy) -3-methoxycinnamamide (Example 171), 100 ml of 254 aqueous potassium hydroxide solution, and 600 ml of methanol, a reaction similar to that conducted in Example 169 was carried out. As a result, 23.9 g of N-(trans-4-methylcyclohexyl )-4-carboxymethoxy)-3-methoxycinnamamide (a compound of the present invention) was obtained as white crystal, which had the following physiochemical properties:
