Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

3.7 g of N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide were added portionwise at 0° C. while stirring to a solution of 3.4 g of (S)-p-(4-methylhexyloxy)benzoic acid, 1.76 g of p-hydroxybenzaldehyde and 0.15 g of 4-(dimethylamino)-pyridine in 100 ml of dichloromethane. The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for a further 1 hour and at room temperature for 2 hours, then filtered and the filtrate was washed with 2N sodium carbonate solution and then with water, dried over sodium sulphate and concentrated. Chromatography of the residue on 120 g of silica gel with hexane/ethyl acetate (vol. 9:1) gave 4.2 g of pure (S)-p-(4-methylhexyloxy)benzoic acid p-formylphenyl ester.
