Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 54285896, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Then, 23.7 g of 2'-ethoxycarbonylmethoxy-4,4',6'-trimethoxy-3'-(3-methyl-2-butenyl)chalcone was dissolved in 100 ml of dioxane, and 100 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 hydrochloric acid to obtain a yellow precipitate. The precipitate was recovered by filtration, washed with water, dried and recrystallized from ethyl acetate to obtain 18.5 g (yield=83.0%) of 2'-carboxymethoxy-4,4'6'-trimethoxy-3'-(3-methyl-2-butenyl)chalcone in the form of a light-yellow prism.
