(E)-N-[(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)methyl]-8-methylnon-6-enamide

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: By using a similar reaction vessel to that in Example 9, 5.7 parts of 8-methylnon-trans-6-enoyl chloride and 0.2 part of pyridine were added to a solution of 4.7 parts of 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylamine in 25 parts of diethyl ether, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 hours. After 10 parts of water was added to the mixture and stirred for 5 minutes, the resultant mixture was allowed to stand for 5 minutes. The water layer in the lower layer was discharged. By almost completely removing ether under a reduced pressure, crude (E)-N-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl)-8-methylnon-6-enamide was obtained. As a result of quantitative analysis of a slight amount of product by an HPLC, the purity of (E)-N-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl)-8-methylnon-6-enamide was determined to be 90.5%. The irritant nature thereof to skin, especially, to mucosae was strong as nonylic acid vanillylamide obtained in Example 9. stirred for 5 minutes to stand for 5 minutes

Procedure: To a solution of capsaicin (0.7 g, 2.3 mmol) and (−)-menthyl chloroformate (0.5 g, 2.3 mmol) in anhydrous dichloromethane (10 mL) was added triethylamine (0.45 g, 4.5 mmol) dropwise at ambient temperature. After the addition, the reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was diluted with dichloromethane (DCM), washed with 5% aqueous K2CO3 solution, brine, dried over MgSO4, concentrated to dryness. The obtained crude product was purified through silica gel column chromatography (30% -50% ethyl acetate in hexane as the eluent) to give 0.98 g of capsaicin l-menthol mutual prodrug (87% yield) as clear viscous oil. 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR of the obtained capsaicin l-menthol mutual prodrug were consistent with the desired structure (see FIGS. 34, 35). Mass spectral analysis of the product was consistent with the desired structure (FIG. 36). After the addition washed with 5% aqueous K2CO3 solution, brine dried over MgSO4 concentrated to dryness The obtained crude product was purified through silica gel column chromatography (30% -50% ethyl acetate in hexane as the eluent)
