Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 53677577, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Then, 15.1 g of 2'-ethoxycarbonylmethoxy-4,4',6'-trimethoxychalcone was dissolved in 80 ml of dioxane, and 80 ml of a 5% aqueous solution of potassium hydroxide was added to the solution and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour to effect a reaction. After the reaction, the reaction mixture was made acidic by hydrochloric acid, extracted with ethyl acetate and filtered, and the solvent was removed from the filtrate by distillation. The residue was recrystallized from a mixed solvent of diethyl ether and ethyl acetate to obtain 11.4 g (yield=81.0%) of 2'-carboxymethoxy-4,4',6'-trimethoxychalcone in the form of a yellow prism.
