Abstract:
This paper describes a new route of synthesis of a series of compounds with thestructure of(where R=n-propyl, n-pentyl, n-hexyl, n-nonyl and n-decyl). All these five com-pounds are prepared successfully from raw materials of p-hydroxybenzoate and p-benzoqui-none in seven steps with high yields. Among them, four compounds of R=n-propyl, n-pentyl, n-nonyl and n-decyl have not yet been reported in the literature. In the synthesisof trans -4-alkoxycyclohexanecarboxylic acids a new synthetic route is adopted, whilethe synthetic method of 2, 3-dicyano-1, 4-benzenediol is well improved.
