Hydrochloric Acid → 2'-(beta-D-glucopyranosyloxy)-6'-hydroxy-3-(5-benzo[b]furanyl)acrylophenone

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 2'-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-glucopyranosyloxy)-6'-hydroxyacetophenone (965 mg), benzo[b]furan-5-carbaldehyde (350 mg) and ethanol (10 ml) is added dropwise a 50% aqueous potassium hydroxide solution (2 ml), and the mixture is stirred at room temperature overnight. The mixture is evaporated to remove the solvent under reduced pressure, and to the residue are added water and diisopropyl ether. The mixture is stirred, and the aqueous layer is obtained by separation. The aqueous layer is neutralized by using a 10% hydrochloric acid under ice-cooling, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The resulting organic layer is washed with water, dried, and evaporated to remove the solvent to give crude 2'-(β-D-glucopyranosyloxy)-6'-hydroxy-3-(5-benzo[b]furanyl)acrylophenone.
