Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Potassium thiocyanate is added to a solution of 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoylchloride (2.3 g) in acetonitrile (40 ml). After stirring for 15 minutes at approximately 20° C., the mixture is filtered and the filtrate is concentrated under reduced pressure in order to produce the expected compound in the form of a beige powder (2.4 g, 96% yield).
