Participants

Reaction Steps

To a 0° C. solution of 11.1 g (0.050 mol) of 3-(2,4-dihydroxy-phenyl)-3-methyl-acrylic acid in 500 mL of anhydrous THF is added 10.3 g (0.050 mol) of DCC. After stirring for 10 min, 6.8 g (0.050 mol) of HOBt, 11.3 g (0.045 mol) of 2-methyl-2-[2-(2,6,6-trimethyl-cyclohex-1-enyl)-ethyl]-[1,3]oxazinane (8) and 1.1 g (0.009 mol) of DMAP are added and stirred at 0° C. for 1 h, warmed to room temperature and stirred for an additional 24 h. The mixture is cooled to 0° C., filtered and the solvent is removed in vacuo. The residue is diluted with ethyl acetate and washed three times with saturated sodium bicarbonate, followed by 10% citric acid and brine. The organic layer is dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The product 9 is further purified by flash chromatography on basic alumina with 20:1 chloroform/methanol.
