Participants

Reaction Steps

69% Nitric acid (11 mL, 171 mmol) was added to a solution of (E)-2-(benzyloxy)-1-(2-ethoxyethoxy)-4-(2-nitrovinyl)benzene described in Production Example 24-3 (15.4 g, 44.9 mmol) and acetic acid (100 mL) at 25° C., and the mixture was stirred for 6 hours. The reaction liquid was poured onto ice. The suspension was subjected to suction filtration and the product was washed with water to quantitatively obtain the title compound.
