I punched Hulk in the face to run away

1. I punched Hulk in the face to run away.

2. I punched Hulk in the face that was about to run away.
3. I punched Hulk in the face in order that I might run away.

With #1, I want to mean #2, not #3.
I'd like to know whether or not it is possible.
Thank you in advance for your help.
