Reaction Steps

Methyl 3-bromo-4-[(1E)-3-methoxy-3-oxoprop-1-en-1-yl]benzoate (300 mg, 1.00 mmol) dissolved in ethanol (2.0 mL) was added to sodium bisulfite (209 mg, 2.00 mmol) in water (2.0 mL). The reaction mixture was heated in the microwave at 165° C. with stirring for 30 minutes. The colorless solution was purified by preparative LCMS to afford product as a white solid (0.26 g, 68%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 8.19 (d, J=1.5 Hz, 1H), 7.93 (dd, J=8.2, 1.8 Hz, 1H), 7.74 (d, J=8.2 Hz, 1H), 5.18 (dd, J=10.0, 5.1 Hz, 1H), 3.88 (s, 3H), 3.55 (s, 3H), 3.38 (dd, J=16.5, 5.1 Hz, 1H), 3.08 (dd, J=16.5, 10.0 Hz, 1H). LCMS found for C12H12BrO7S (M−H)−: m/z=378, 380.
