Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of methyl 2-nitrocinnamate (8) (11.03 g, 53.24 mmol) in ethyl acetate (200 ml) was added SnCl2.H2O (60.06 g, 266.19 mmol) at room temperature, and the resulting solution was stirred at 70° C. for 60 minutes. After the reaction was completed, the solution was allowed to cool to room temperature, basified with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate to weak basicity, and filtered with celite. The aqueous phase was extracted with ethyl acetate three times, and the combined organic phase was dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate and distilled under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography (eluent: ethyl acetate:hexane=1:5) to give the target compound (8.50 g, 90%).
