Reaktionsschritte

23.1 g (95.7 mmol) of 4-benzyloxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde, 8.76 g (143 mmol) of nitromethane and 250 ml of acetic acid were mixed and 7.07 g (96.7 mmol) of butylamine was added dropwise thereto. The mixture was refluxed for 2 hours by heating, and then cooled and poured into ice-water. The precipitated crystals were dissolved with ethyl acetate, washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The residue was washed with hexane and dried to give 17.0 g of 1-benzyloxy-2-methoxy-4-(2-nitrovinyl)benzene.
