The resulting mixture was stirred overnight. The solid product was filtered, washed with ethanol and vacuum dried to give MMONS, 3-methyl-4-methoxy-4'-nitrostilbene (4.946 g, 0.0157 mole, 47.6% yield, m.p. 109°-111° C.). Recrystallization of MMONS from chloroform/ethanol gave crystals suitable for x-ray analysis.
