Reaktionsschritte

Stannic chloride (0.41 g.) was added to a stirred solution of 5-nitrobenzo[b]thiophene (0.28 g.) and methyl 4-bromomethyl-3-methoxybenzoate (B) (0.61 g.) in dichloromethane (5 ml.). The mixture was heated under reflux for 18 hours. The cooled mixture was poured into water (10 ml.) and extracted with dichloromethane (2×20 ml.). The combined extracts were dried (MgSO4) and evaporated. The oil was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (100 ml.) eluting with 1:9 v/v ethyl acetate:hexane. The solid obtained was crystallized from hexane to give methyl 3-methoxy-4-(5-nitrobenzo[b]thien-3-ylmethyl)benzoate (I) as a solid (0.16 g., 30%); NMR: (250 MHz, CDCl3): 3.92(s, 3H, OCH3), 3.98(s,3H, OCH3), 4.28(s,2H, CH2 --Ar), 7.15 (d,1H), 7.22(s,1H), 7.56(m,2H), 7.93(d,1H), 8.19(dd, 1H); 8.73(d,1H).
