Dehydrogenative Polymerization of 3,5-Disubstituted p-Coumaryl Alcohols

Abstract

この論文は国立情報学研究所の学術雑誌公開支援事業により電子化されました。3,5-Disubstituted p-coumaryl alcohols (3-methoxy-5-iodo-, 3,5-diiodo-, 3-methoxy-5-nitro-, 3,5-dinitro-, 3,5-dimethoxy- and 3,5-dimethyl-p-coumaryl alcohols) were synthesized and dehydrogenated to their dimeric compounds with ferric chloride in dioxane (nonpolar solvent) and acetone-water (polar solvent), respectively. Yields of the β-ethers were, for example, 85 % (sinapyl alcohol) and 86 % (3, 5-diiodo-p-coumaryl alcohol) in dioxane, and 11% (the former) and 80 % (the latter) in acetone-water, respectively. These results suggest that the most effective factor in the radical coupling of these alcohols is the electronic effects of the substituent groups, but not the steric hindrance. Syringylglycerol-β-sinapyl ether was obtained in a high yield from sinapyl alcohol when dioxane was used as a solvent
