Reaktionsschritte

The above ester (3.45 g, 16 mM) was dissolved in THF (100 ml), treated with 1M NaOH (25 ml), and stirred at ambient temperature for 5 hours. After removal of the solvent, the residue was treated with water (50 ml), acidified with 2M sulfuric acid, and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×60 ml). The combined organic extracts were washed with aqueous NaH2PO4, brine, and dried over MgSO4. Evaporation gave 3-methoxy-5-nitrobenzoic acid, which was allylated essentially as in Example 1, except that the chromatographic purification used a mixture of petrol/ethyl acetate (6:1), to give allyl 3-methoxy-5-nitrobenzoate. Nmr (CDCl3): δ 3.95 (s, 3H); 4.87 (dt, 2H); 5.31-5.48 (m, 2H); 5.95-6.15 (m, 1H); 7.89 (t, 1H); 7.92 (t, 1H); 8.46 (t, 1H).
