Reaction Steps

To a solution of (E,E)-4-ethyl-2,4-hexadienoic acid (7 g) and N-hydroxysuccinimide (5.75 g) in dioxane (100 ml) was added dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (10.8 g). The mixture was stirred at ambient temperature overnight and then filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give a residue which was recrystallized from a mixture of ether and petroleum ether to give N-[(E,E)-4-ethyl-2,4-hexadienoyloxy]succinimide (10.73 g).
