Description

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.
