Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 18766408, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

3-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid (12.0 g, 72.0 mmol) was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (20 mL). n-Propylamine (5.1 g, 86.4 mmol) was added dropwise at room temperature. Subsequently, under ice-cooling, solution (20 mL) of WSCI-hydrochloric acid salt (16.5 g, 86.4 mmol) in methylene chloride was slowly added thereto, and the resultant mixture was stirred overnight. Diluted hydrochloric acid was added dropwise under ice-cooling, and the mixture was extracted with chloroform. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine, followed by drying over sodium sulfate, concentration under reduced pressure, and purification by silica gel chromatography (chloroform/methanol=50/1), whereby the target compound was obtained (9.7 g, 65%).
