Synthesis of 3, 4-isopropiylidene quinide (Quinide acetal), (45)-p183<br />

Scheme 6: Quinide acetal formed by common acetalisation<br />

The quinide acetal was produced by thermodynamic acetalisation of quinic acid. The<br />

acetalisation was accomplished by refluxing quinic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid,<br />

2,2-dimethoxy propane (DMP) and acetone for 2 hours providing the shown<br />

compound in 76-90 % yield. The crystals were suitable for single crystal X-ray<br />

diffraction and could be obtained from EtOAc-PE (25:4) solvent combination.The<br />

compound was first described and synthesized by Sefkow. 310 The crystal data and<br />

structure of the product are given below and have not been reported in the literature<br />

yet. The structure was solved by Dr. M. Dickman in the laboratory of Prof. U. Kortz.<br />
