Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 12112293, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Gaseous hydrogen chloride was passed into a solution of 4.0 g of E-4-[2-methyl-2-(1,1,4,4,6-pentamethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphth-7-yl)-vinyl]-benzoic acid in 300 ml of ethanol at the boiling point of the reaction mixture, until the solution was saturated. Thereafter, the mixture was kept at the boil for a further 4 hours, cooled, flushed with nitrogen and then evaporated down. The residue was digested with 30 ml of methanol, and the product was filtered off and dried. 3.6 g of ethyl E-4-[2-methyl-2-(1,1,4,4,6-pentamethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphth-7-yl)-vinyl]-benzoate of melting point 109°-110° C. were obtained (cf. Example 1).
