Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the subject compound in high yield and good purity by converting a phloroglucin type phenol into an ester derivative and then benzylating the resultant ester derivative. CONSTITUTION:An ester group is introduced into the hydroxyl group of a phloroglucin type phenol expressed by the formula (R1 to R3 are alkyl or H or R1 and R2 or R2 and R3 may form a ring) such as phloroglucin, catechin or epicatechin and the esterification is carried out by a usual method using an acid anhydride or an acid chloride. The resultant ester derivative is then benzylated in a solvent (e.g. N,N-dimethylformamide) under basic conditions (e.g. benzyl chloride and sodium hydride) to afford the subject compound. This compound is useful as a synthetic intermediate for substituted flavonoids, C- methylated flavonoids, anthocyanidin, etc.

Specifically, the obtained ester derivative is dissolved in a polar solvent such as N, N-dimethylformamide and acetone, and then dissolved in benzyl fluoride, benzyl chloride, benzyl bromide and benzyl iodide. Such a benzyl halide and sodium hydride are added, and further an alcohol such as water, methyl alcohol or ethyl alcohol is added dropwise to the reaction mixture for reaction. By adding an extraction solvent to the reaction solution and performing a usual separation operation such as extraction and concentration, the desired benzyl ether can be obtained in a high yield without causing C-benzylation. The method of the present invention can also be applied to polyvalent phenols such as resorcinol, catechol and pyrogallol.
