Sodium Hydroxide → 1-(Ethoxycarbonyl)cyclobutane-1-carboxylic acid

関与物質

反応手順

To an ice-cooled solution of 100 ml of diethyl cyclobutane-1,1-dicarboxylate in 110 ml of methanol was added 290 ml of a 10% (w/w) sodium hydroxide aqueous solution over a period of 60 minutes while stirring. The solution was then stirred at room temperature for 18 hrs. The organic solvent methanol was then removed under reduced pressure. The aqueous layer was washed with chloroform and the aqueous layer was then acidified with conc. hydrochloric acid to a pH of 2.5. The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate, and the extract was washed with a sat. sodium chloride aqueous solution. The extract was dried and the solvent ethyl acetate was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by vacuum distillation to yield 85 g of the titled compound as a colorless oil.
