Reaktionsschritte

8.5 g (0.028 mol) of 4-[6-(2-methyl-acryloyloxy)-hexyloxy]-benzoate were treated with 6 ml of thionyl chloride and 3 drops of DMF and the mixture was heated to 90° C. for 2 hours. The excess thionyl chloride was completely removed firstly in a water-jet vacuum and subsequently in a high vacuum. The residual acid chloride was taken up in 20 ml of dichloromethane and slowly added dropwise at 0° C. to a solution of 5.25 g (0.025 mol) of methyl 4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-cinnamate and 4.25 ml of triethylamine in 25 ml of THF. The batch was stirred at room temperature overnight, filtered and the filtrate was evaporated to dryness. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel with dichloromethane/diethyl ether (19:1) and subsequently by recrystallization from ethanol/THF. 6.31 g of 2-methoxy-4-[(E)-2-methoxycarbonyl-vinyl]-phenyl 4-[6-(2-methyl-acryloyloxy)-hexyloxy]-benzoate were isolated as a white powder; m.p. 92-94° C.
