Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of methyl 4-formylbenzoate (34 g, 207 mmol) in nitromethane (500 mL) was added ammonium acetate (24 g, 311 mmol) and then the mixture was stirred at 120° C. for 1 h. Evaporated the solvent and diluted with ethyl acetate, the mixture was hydrolyzed and extracted. The organic layers were dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to obtain methyl 4-(2-nitrovinyl)benzoate as a yellow solid (26.6 g, yield 62%). 1H-NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ (ppm): 3.87 (s, 3H), 7.09-8.04 (m, 4H), 8.17-8.21 (d, J=14 Hz, 1H), 8.30-8.34 (d, J=14 Hz, 1H). LC-MS (ESI) m/z: 208 (M+1)+.
