Reaktionsschritte

158.1 g (0.92 mol) of 3-nitrobenzyl chloride was dissolved in a mixture of 500 ml (4.59 mol, 5 equivalents) of 3-methyl-1-butanol and 140 ml of dimethylformamide. To the resultant mixture 78 g (1.39 mol, 1.5 equivalents) of KOH pellets were added while the mixture was being cooled in a water bath and stirred strongly. The reaction temperature was elevated to 43° C. and thereafter gradually restored to room temperature. After the mixture was stirred for 7 hours at room temperature, the reaction was completed.
