2-methoxy-4-(3-oxobutyl)phenyl 2-cyclohexylacetate

Esterification reaction to form 2-methoxy-4-(3-oxobutyl)phenyl 2-cyclohexylacetate from Zingerone and Cyclohexaneacetic Acid. Reaction was performed in acetonitrile with DMAP and EDC.HCl as catalysts. The product was then extracted from the solvent using an aqueous/organic workup, leaving it dissolved in hexane, which was then removed using a rotary evaporator. The ester is an oil, which was slightly volatile at room temperature. From looking at the spectrum, the sample is fairly pure, but it might be contaminated with acetone.

由姜酮（Zingerone）与环己基乙酸（Cyclohexaneacetic Acid）经酯化反应生成2-甲氧基-4-(3-氧代丁基)苯基2-环己基乙酸酯。反应在乙腈（acetonitrile）中进行，以4-二甲氨基吡啶（DMAP）和1-(3-二甲氨基丙基)-3-乙基碳二亚胺盐酸盐（EDC·HCl）为催化剂。随后通过水相/有机相后处理从溶剂中萃取产物，使其溶解于己烷（hexane）中，再用旋转蒸发仪（rotary evaporator）除去己烷。该酯为油状物，在室温下具有轻微挥发性。从光谱分析结果可知，样品纯度较高，但可能被丙酮（acetone）污染。
