反応手順

To a solution of 2 (1.19 mol) in a mixture of methanol (2 L) and water (0.5 L), potassium hydroxide pellets (100 gram, 1.5 mol) were added under cooling. The mixture was refluxed overnight and evaporated to dryness. The residue was dissolved in water (0.5 L) and acidified with HCl 6N. The product precipitated and 189 g of product was collected as white crystals. Yield 95%. 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3, 25° C.) δ: 2.234 (s, 3H, CH3), 3.717 (s, 3H, OCH3), 7.062 (t, J=7.5, 1H, ArH), 7.365 (d, J=7.5, 1H, ArH), 7.496 (d, J=7.5, 1H, ArH).
