Participants

Reaction Steps

As in Example 115, (E,E)-5-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2,4-decadienoic acid (3.08 g) and 4-nitrophenol (2.75 g) in 20 mL of dichloromethane was treated with 1,3-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (2.11 g). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 days and after the usual work up, crystallization of the crude ester from 2-propanol-hexane gave 2.98 g of (E,E)-5-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2,4-decadienoic acid 4-nitrophenyl ester, mp 95°-96.5° C.
