3-Phenylprop-2-En-1-Ol → HCID 53744919, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.26 ml (10.0 mmol) of methyl 3-oxovalerate, 2.57 ml (20.0 mmol) of cinnamyl alcohol and 122 mg (1.0 mmol) of 4-dimethylaminopyridine were heated under reflux in 20 ml of toluene overnight. A phosphate buffer solution was added to the reaction liquid. After the extraction with ethyl acetate, the organic layer was washed with saturated aqueous salt solution and then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by the silica gel chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=9/1) to obtain the title compound.
