Application | benzene hexanoic acid is an organic acid, which is used as a pharmaceutical intermediate. |
preparation | 5.65g of 2-benzoylcyclopentanone (30 mmol, 1.0 eq.) suspend in a solution of 5.04G of potassium hydroxide (90 mmol, 3.0 eq.) and 260 of water. The reaction system was heated to reflux, and the reflux was maintained until the reaction system became homogeneous. After cooling to room temperature, the pH of the system was adjusted to 4 with HCL to precipitate the compound 6-oxo-6-phenylhexanoic acid (4.94G, crude yield: 80%). Pure 6-oxo-6-phenylhexanoic acid (3.71G, yield: 60%) was obtained by recrystallization from isopropanol. 1H NMR(300MHz,CDCl3)% 7.57-7.37(m,5h),2.92(t,J = 7.5Hz,2H),2.33(t,J = 7.5Hz,2H),1.74-1.56(m,2H),1.40-1.32(m,2H). 4.18G of 6-oxo-6-phenylhexanoic acid (20.25 mmol, 1.0 equiv) was dissolved in 100 of absolute ethanol, after which 1.40g of 10% Palladium on carbon was added. The reaction system was placed under an atmosphere of hydrogen and heated to 65 °c. After the reaction for 18 hours, the reaction mixture was filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated to obtain 3.89g of benzic acid (yield: 100%). |
