Ethanol → HCID 86724048, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of NaOEt in dry EtOH (45 mL, 114.90 mmol) under inert atmosphere was added 4-chloromethyl-1-methyl-2-nitro-benzene (7.0 g, 38.30 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. Water was added and ethanol was removed under reduced pressure. The crude product was extracted with DCM (2 times) and the organic layer was washed with water, then with a saturated solution of NaCl, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated to give I-g as brown oil in 96% yield. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.95 (s, 1H), 7.48 (d, J=7.8 Hz, 1H), 7.31 (d, J=7.9 Hz, 1H), 4.52 (s, 2H), 3.56 (q, J=7.0 Hz, 2H), 2.57 (d, J=10.1 Hz, 3H), 1.26 (t, J=7.0 Hz, 3H).
