Reaction Steps

As in Example 115, (E)-5,5-bis (3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2,4-pentadienoic acid (16 g) and 4-nitrophenol (6.6 g) in dichloromethane (160 mL) was treated with 1,3-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (9.3 g). The mixture was stirred at 0.5° C. for 1 hour, then at room temperature for 18 hours. After the usual work up, the crude product was triturated with ether to give 13.2 g of (E)-5,5-bis (3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2,4-pentadienoic acid 4-nitrophenyl ester. Crystallization of a portion from ether afforded the analytical sample, mp 140°-142° C.
