Acetic Anhydride → HCID 3555469, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Acetic anhydride (1.58 ml, 16.7 mmol) was added to a solution of 4-cyclohexylcarbonyl resorcinol (1.47 g, 6.68 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (15 ml) at room temperature, followed by triethylamine (2.80 ml, 20.0 mmol) and the solution stirred for 4 h. At this time, TLC showed the clean formation of a single product (Rf 0.71) and no starting material (Rf 0.40) (Note 5). The solvent was removed under reduced pressure to give 4-cyclohexylcarbonyl resorcinol diacetate as a light-yellow oil (3.0 g) and used without further purification for the next synthetic step (Note 6).
