Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-methyl-4-nitro-2-(2-propenyl)-phenol (5.19 g, 26.9 mmol) in dichloromethane (200 ml) at 0° was added triethylamine (5.43 g, 53.8 mmol) and acetic anhydride (3.29 g, 32.3 mmol). After 30 min, the reaction mixture was evaporated to a residue which was purified by chromatography (silica, 2% to 10% ethyl acetate in hexane) to give an orange oil (4.80 g, 76%).
