Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2.00 g (9.0 mmoles) if 3,5-di-(carbmethoxymethyl)phenol in 75 ml acetone is added 1.24 g (9.0 mmoles) of K2CO3 followed by 1.77 g (9.0 mmoles) of cinnamylbromide. This reaction mixture is refluxed for 2 hours, cooled to room temperature, filtered and concentrated down in vacuo. Purification by flash chromatography affords 1,3-di-(carbomethoxymethyl)-5-cinnamyloxybenzene which is used directly in the next step.
