Allyl bromide → Benzyl 3-allyloxy-4-nitro-benzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Benzyl 3-hydroxy-4-nitro-benzoate 29a (4.50 g, 16.47 mmol) was dissolved in 75 mL of anhydrous acetonitrile. The resulting solution was added with potassium carbonate (6.83 g, 49.41 mmol) and 3-bromopropene (2.9 mL, 32.94 mmol) successively, heated to reflux for 3 hours, then filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to obtain the title compound benzyl 3-allyloxy-4-nitro-benzoate 29b (4.86 g, yield: 94.2%) as a yellow solid.
