Participants

Reaction Steps

11.0 Parts of resorcinol, 12.2 parts of 2-hexanoylamino-6-hydroxy-6-methyl-heptane and 0.5 parts of p-toluene sulphonic acid are sealed for 4 days in a glass Carius tube. The reaction mixture is then poured into 500 parts of water and stirred for 30 minutes on a steam-bath. After removing the water by decantation, the above washing procedure is repeated twice again before taking up the residual oil in ether. The ether solution is then dried and stripped down under reduced pressure (16 mb) on a rotary evaporator at 100° C. to give 2-hexanoylamino-6-(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-6-methylheptane as an amber oil with the following percentage composition by weight
