Reaction Steps
A mixture of 300 g of cinnamic acid methyl ester, 500 g of nitromethane and 39 g of tetramethylguanidine is allowed to stir at room temperature for 72 hours. The solution is diluted with diethyl ether and aqueous hydrochloric acid solution (1 N, 1 liter) is added. The organic layer is separated dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and evaporated to give 4-nitro-3-phenylbutanoic acid methyl ester.
