1-Chloro-4-acetoxynonane → 4-(4-Acetyl-8-hydroxypentadecyl)benzoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

This compound is prepared by the method described in Example 1 for 4-(4-acetyl-8-hydroxytridecyl)benzoic acid except that in Step D an equivalent quantity of 1-chloro-4-acetoxyundecane is substituted for 1-chloro-4-acetoxynonane. The intermediates and final product thus obtained are, Step D: ethyl 4-(4-acetyl-4-tert-butoxycarbonyl-8-acetoxypentadecyl)benzoate; Step E: ethyl 4-(4-acetyl-8-acetoxypentadecyl)benzoate; and Step F: 4-(4-acetyl-8-hydroxypentadecyl)benzoic acid.
