Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Acetamido-1,3-diacetoxy-2-(3-phenyl-2-propenyl)propane (170 mg) was dissolved in 6 ml of methanol and 6 ml of a 1 N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution was added thereto. The mixture was refluxed under heating for 3 hours. After the reaction, the solvent was distilled away and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (methanol: chloroform=1:30-1:6) to give 70 mg of 2-amino-2-(3-phenyl-2-propenyl)-1,3-propanediol as pale brown crystals.
