Abstract  

An improved process was reported to solve the problems such as low yield and high costs in the synthesis of 3-n-propyl-2, 4dihydroxyacetophenone, which is a key intermediate of Leukotriene receptor antagonist.  The target compound was synthesized starting from m-dihydroxybenzene, via acylation, allylation, Claisen rearrangement and hydrogenation reduction. The optimal reaction conditions were as follows. The acylation reaction which used acetic acid as acylation agent and ZnCl2 as catalyst was carried out under reflux for 5 h, and 779% yield was obtained. The allylation reaction using allyl chloride as allylation reagent and NaBr、KI as catalyst was carried out at 40 °C for 2 h and continued at 70 °C for 14 h, to give 98.6% yield. In Claisen rearrangement carried out at 205 ℃ for 4.5 h, diphenyl ether was used as reaction solvent and NaCl was used as catalyst, and the yield was improved to 67.4%. In the final step, the hydrogenated reduction with Pd/C (w(Pd) is 5%) as catalyst was carried out at 45 ℃ for 6 h, and 88.6% yield was obtained. The process is much of industrial value because of high yield, cheap and available materials, and convenient operations. The structure of the main compounds was confirmed by 1HNMR、GC-MS and IR.
