Participants

Reaction Steps

Into the same flask as used in Example 1, 2-allyl-3-hydroxy-3-methyl-4-cyclopentenone (0.1 mol; 1 part), resorcinol (5 parts), tetrahydrofuran (1/2 part) and triethylamine (1/10 part) were charged, and the mixture was stirred at a temperature of 50° to 80° C. for 2 hours. After completion of the reaction, toluene (6 parts) and water (2 parts) were added thereto, and the separated organic layer was washed with a 5% aqueous solution of sodium carbonate. Toluene was evaporated off from the organic layer to give 2-allyl-3-methyl-4-(3-hydroxyphenoxy)-2-cyclopentenone. Yield, 95%. The product was purified by recrystallization from a mixture of chloroform and methanol (5:2 by volume). nD20 1.5707.
