Reaction Steps

First, 1.38 g of 60% NaH was suspended in 12 ml of THF. Then, 2.4 g of methyl 3-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)-propionate was dissolved in 12 ml of THF and added dropwise to the suspension solution prepared above at room temperature. After the suspension solution was raised in temperature to 40° C. and stirred for 15 minutes, 3.46 g of methyl formate was added dropwise for 1 hour. Further, 0.7 g of 60% NaH and 0.9 g of methyl formate were divided into four parts and each part was added separately. Afterwards, the solution mixture was stirred at 40° C. for 3 hours.
