Participants

Reaction Steps

Ethyl gallate (7.92 g, commercially available, Fluka), and K2CO3 (27.6 g) in DMF (40 ml) were treated with allyl bromide (13.5 ml) as above, to give ethyl 3,4,5-triallyloxybenzoate acid (14 g): NMR (CDCl3) 1.49 (t, 3H); 4.35 (q, 2H); 4.62 (m, 6H); 5.15-5.48 (m, 6H); 6.00-6.28 (m, 3H); 7.29 (s, 1H). This crude ester was hydrolysed essentially as above to give 3,4,5-triallyloxybenzoic acid (10.4 g): NMR (CDCl3) 4.64 (m, 6H); 5.15-5.51 (m, 6H); 6.00-6.20 (m, 3H); 7.35 (s, 1H).
