Reaction Steps
A mixture to 300 g of p-methylcinnamic 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 (1 liter, 1 N) aqueous hydrochloric acid solution added. The organic layer is separated, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and evaporated to give 4-nitro-3-(4-methylphenyl) butanoic acid methyl ester.
