Procedure

To a solution of 3-hydroxy-4-nitro-benzoic acid methyl ester (50.0 g, 253.6 mmol) in acetone (1 L) was added potassium carbonate (105.0 gram, 759.7 mmol) and allyl bromide (44.0 mL, 508.4 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated to reflux overnight and the insoluble material was removed by filtration. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give 3-allyloxy-4-nitro-benzoic acid methyl ester as solid (59.4 g, 98.8%). 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ3.96 (s, 3H), 4.75 (dt, 2H, J=5.0 Hz, 1.6 Hz), 5.36 (ddt, 1H, J=10.6 Hz, 1.4 Hz, 1.4 Hz), 5.50 (ddt, 1H, J=17.2 Hz, 1.6 Hz, 1.6 Hz), 6.05 (ddt, 1H, J=17.3 Hz, 10.6 Hz, 5.0 Hz), 7.69 (dd, 1H, J=8.33 Hz, 1.58 Hz), 7.75 (d, 1H, J=1.55 Hz), 7.83 (d, 1H, J=8.34 Hz).
