Reaktionsschritte

In an acetic acid (10 mL) solvent, a solution including 2,3-dihydroxybenzaldehyde (3.0 g, 21.7 mmol), sodium acetate (NaOAc) (3.54 g, 43.4 mmol), and nitroethane (3.24 g, 43.4 mmol) was refluxed for 8 hours. After cooling, the reaction mixture was distributed between ethyl acetate and water. Until a pH of the residual aqueous layer reached 8, an organic layer was washed with a saturated NaHCO3 solution. The organic layer was evaporated, the residual was purified by silica gel column chromatography using hexane and ethyl acetate (2:1) as a developer to obtain Compound 101a (1.88 g, 59%).
