Reaktionsschritte

This reaction was carried out in 10 batches. To a solution of C2 (10 g, 32 mmol) in dichloromethane (400 mL) was added [1,3-bis-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-2-imidazolidinylidene]dichloro(phenylmethylene)(tricyclohexylphosphine)ruthenium (Grubbs 2nd-generation catalyst, 1.38 g, 1.62 mmol) and methyl prop-2-enoate (69.7 g, 0.81 mol), and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 18 hours. Solvent was removed in vacuo, and the residue was purified via silica gel chromatography (Eluent: 3:1 petroleum ether/ethyl acetate) to provide the product as a yellow oil. Combined yield: 70 g, 0.19 mol, 59%. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.27-7.38 (m, 5H), 6.94-7.04 (m, 1H), 5.89 (br d, J=15.6 Hz, 1H), 4.58 (dd, J=5.3, 5.0 Hz, 1H), 4.54 (s, 2H), 3.73 (s, 3H), 3.44-3.7 (m, 9H), 2.41-2.55 (m, 2H), 1.21 (t, J=7.0 Hz, 3H), 1.20 (t, J=7.0 Hz, 3H).
