Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-(4-carboxy-2-methoxy-5-nitrophenoxy)propanoic acid (153) (20 g, 74.3 mmol) and p-toluene sulphonic acid monohydrate (2.3 g, 7.4 mmol) in allyl alcohol (240 mL, 3.5 mol) was refluxed for 7 hours then allowed to cool. The allyl alcohol was then removed in vacuo, and the residue triturated with dilute HCl acid and collected by filtration. This solid was taken up in EtOAc, and the resulting solution washed with water and brine and dried over sodium sulphate. Evaporation in vacuo afforded 154 as a white solid (19.27 g, 84%): mp 128-130° C.; 1H-NMR (CDCl3): δ 2.92 (t, 2H, J=6.35 Hz); 3.94 (s, 3H); 4.38 (t, 2H, J=6.41 Hz); 4.65 (d, 2H, J=5.61 Hz); 5.27 (dd, 1H, J1=1.28 Hz, J2=19.42 Hz); 5.33 (dd, 1H, J1=1.28 Hz, J=17.04 Hz); 5.92 (m, 1H); 7.15 (s, 1H); 7.45 (s, 1H); 13C NMR (67.8 MHz, CDCl3): δ 34.1, 56.5, 65.0, 65.4, 108.5, 111.3, 118.3, 122.9, 131.8, 141.1, 149.1, 152.6, 167.1, 170.0; IR (Nujol); ν 1730, 1630, 1550, 1430, 1390, 1290, 1230, 1190, 1170, 1070, 1030, 1010 cm−1; MS (EI) m/z (relative intensity): 325 (M+., 19), 251 (3), 213 (2), 196 (3), 211 (3), 113 (19), 91 (4), 71 (9), 55 (6); HRMS: calcd. for C14H15NO6 325.0798, found 232.0773.
