Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1 g (5.828 mmol) 1-chloro-3-nitromethyl-benzene (CAS: 38362-91-3) at 0° C. in 2 ml dioxane was added 0.512 g (5.828 mmol) methyl acrylate followed by 3.3 g Amberlyst A-21. The reaction mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature, filtered and the filtrate was dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified with flash column chromatography on silica gel (Eluent: Heptane/ethyl acetate 0 to 10%) to provide 980 mg (65%) of the title compound as a colorless oil.
