Ethylene Glycol → HCID 23123916, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-Azidobutyrophenone (100.0 mg, 0.53 mmol) was dissolved in toluene (5 ml) at room temperature, and thereto were added ethylene glycol (0.06 ml, 1.06 mmol) and p-toluene sulfonic acid mono hydrate (10.1 mg, 0.05 mmol) in sequential order at the same temperature, and thereafter, the mixture was refluxed using a Dean Stark tube for 24 hours. The reaction solution was cooled to room temperature and added to water thereafter, followed by the extraction using ethyl acetate. The extracted organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The target compound was thus obtained as a colorless oil (133 mg).
