Nitromethane → 2-Benzyloxy-4-isopropyl-1-(2-nitrovinyl)benzene

Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To 100 mL of nitromethane were added 10.44 g of 2-benzyloxy-4-isopropylbenzaldehyde and 4.71 g of ammonium acetate. After being stirred at external 100° C. for 3 hours, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate, and the organic layer was washed successively with 1 mol/L hydrochloric acid, and saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure to give 9.45 g of 2-benzyloxy-4-isopropyl-1-(2-nitrovinyl)benzene.
