Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Isobutyl bromide (10.5 mL, 95.8 mmol) was added to a suspension of methyl 4-hydroxy-3-nitrobenzoate (6.26 g, 31.8 mmol) and potassium carbonate (13.2 g, 95.5 mmol) in dry DMF (40 mL). The resulting mixture was stirred at 90° C. for 44 hours and then cooled to room temperature. Subsequently, ice-water (80 mL) was added to the cooled mixture. The precipitated crystalline product was collected by filtration, washed with water (50 mL), and dried for 30 min in air. The dried crystalline product was then washed with hexane (40 mL), and dried in air to give 7.03 g (yield 87%) of the desired compound in the form of a pale orange crystalline product.
