Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 57032532, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Then, 1.9 g of 1-[4,6-dimethoxy-2-methoxycarbonylmethoxy-3-(3-methyl-2-butenyl)phenyl]-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-propanone was dissolved in 20 ml of methanol, and 20 ml of a 5% aqueous solution of potassium hydroxide was added to the solution and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes to effect a reaction. After the reaction, the reaction mixture was made acidic by dilute hydrochloric acid, extracted with diethyl ether and filtered, and the solvent was removed from the filtrate by distillation. The obtained residue was recrystallized from a mixed solvent of ethyl acetate and diethyl ether to obtain 1.7 g (yield=92.4%) of 1-[2-carboxymethoxy-4,6-dimethoxy-3-(3-methyl-2-butenyl)phenyl]-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-propanone in the form of a colorless prism.
