Reaction Steps

100 g (5 mol) of anhydrous hydrogen fluoride were added to 10.6 g (100 mmol) of p-xylene (99% purity) and 17 g (105 mmol) of methyl trans-cinnamate, and the mixture was stirred at 70° C. for 17 hours. Work-up carried out analogously to Example A gave 23.6 g of a yellowish solid. The purity of the product is 96% (GC). (96% of theory). After recrystallization once from an ethyl acetate/hexane mixture (1:1), a virtually white solid was obtained in a yield of 90%. The purity after this step is greater than 98% (GC).
