Sodium Fluoride → HCID 20442867, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 224 mg quantity of 3,4,5-triethoxytoluene and 20 mg of sodium fluoride were dissolved in 10 ml of ethanol. Electrolysis was conducted by immersing a carbon electrode as the anode and a stainless steel electrode as the cathode each having an electrolytic area of 3 cm2, stirring the solution at room temperature and passing through the solution constant current of 30 mA at an electric charge of 3 F/mol. Subsequently the same procedure as in Example 1 was repeated producing 287 mg of 1,3,5,6,6-pentaethoxy-3-methyl-1,4-cyclohexadiene in 91.5% of theoretical yield. The compound thus obtained was identified by NMR.
