Procedure

A 30-ml eggplant type flask was purged with nitrogen, and charged with 1.5 g (5.9 mmol) of allyl 4,5-dimethoxy-2-nitrobenzyl ether, 0.865 g (7.1 mmol) of trimethoxysilane, and an infinitesimal amount of hydrogen hexachloroplatinate(IV) hexahydrate (H2PtCl6·6H2O), followed by stirring at 37° C. for 30 minutes. Thereafter, the bath temperature was raised to 100° C., and the reaction was completed in 2 hours. The reaction mixture was purified by silica gel column chromatography using a medium-pressure column. Using a mixture of hexane, ethyl acetate and tetramethoxysilane (in a volume ratio of 100:20:1) as the eluent, 0.95 g (2.53 mmol) of the desired product was obtained in a 43% yield. Its Rf value (for the aforesaid eluent) was 0.19.
