Vanillin → HCID 54205624, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-methoxy-4-(α-methyl-β-nitroethenyl)-phenol was also prepared by a variation of the above procedure in which vanillin was treated with nitroethane instead of nitromethane. The conditions employed for the reaction, however, were essentially the same as those described above for nitromethylation. The α-methyl-β-nitroethenyl phenol product was obtained in 80% yield with m.p. 110°-112° and had λ max (ethanol) of 368 and λ max (TRIS 8.8) of 475 with ε of 13,100.
