To a mixture of Capsaicin (17 g, 55.7 mmol), anhydrous K2CO3 (26 g, 188 mmol), sodium iodide (4.5 g, 30 mmol) and disodium phosphate (4.5 g, 32 mmol) in anhydrous acetone (425 ml) was added methyl chloroacetate (9 g, 83 mmol) and refluxed for 6 hours. Acetone was distilled off and water (150 ml) was added. Crude 10 was filtered, dried and recrystallised from toluene to give pure 10 (15 g, 71.4%) as a white power. The melting point was found to be 99.5-103.5° C. It was analyzed by HPLC and found to be 99.3% pure.
