반응 단계

800 ml of a 0.5M solution of isopropenylmagnesium bromide in THF is cooled to −40° C. under a nitrogen atmosphere, a solution of 20.4 g of 2-methoxynitrobenzene in 125 ml of THF is then added dropwise and the mixture is left stirring for 1 hour while allowing the temperature to return to 0° C. The reaction mixture is poured into a saturated NH4Cl solution and extracted with ether, the organic phase is washed with a saturated NaCl solution and dried over MgSO4, and the solvent is evaporated under vacuum. The residue is chromatographed on silica gel, elution being carried out with cyclohexane and then with a cyclohexane/EtOAc mixture (90/10; v/v). 2.45 g of the expected compound are obtained in the form of an oil.
