反応手順

A solution of 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)cyclohexanecarbonitrile (6) (1.092 g, 5.07 mmol) in dioxane (6 ml) was added to a mixture of 2M NaOH in water (150 ml) and 30% H2O2 in water (7.5 ml) was added and the resultant suspension was stirred under reflux for 4 days. The pH of the reaction medium was brought to pH 1 with conc. HCl (ca. 30 ml) and the obtained mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (4×80 ml). The combined organic extract was washed with brine (50 ml) and dried (Na2SO4). The solvent was evaporated and the residue was chromatographed on silica gel (50 g) with benzene-ethyl acetate-acetic acid (9:1:0.15) as eluent affording the title compound (0.844 g, 71%) as a white solid. 1H NMR (CDCl3, HMDSO) δ: 1.05-1.91 (8H, m); 2.16-2.61 (2H, m); 3.76 (3H, s); 6.86 (2H, d, J=9.0 Hz); 7.34 (2H, d, J=9.0 Hz); 11.26 (1H, br s).
