Participants

Reaction Steps

As in Example 115, (E,E)-5-(3-fluorophenyl)-2,4-decadienoic acid (3.55 g) and 4-nitrophenol (2.33 g) in 20 mL of dichloromethane was treated with 1,3-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (2.81 g) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 days. After the usual work up, crystallization of the crude ester from hexane gave 3.51 g of (E,E)-5-(3-fluorophenyl)-2,4-decadienoic acid 4-nitrophenyl ester, mp 46°-47° C.
