Participants

Reaction Steps

To 10% Pd—C (100 mg) under nitrogen atmosphere was added a solution of 4-(3-ethoxy-3-oxoprop-1-enyl)-3-nitrobenzoic acid (45) (29 g, 0.11 mol) in 75 mL methanol and kept at 50 psi H2 atmosphere for 12 h. The reaction mixture was filtered through a sintered funnel and the filtrate was concentrated to give the pure compound 22. Off-white solid (20.9 g, 96%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 2.44 (t, J=6.8 Hz, 2H); 2.90 (t, J=6.8 Hz, 2H); 7.25 (d, J=7.6 Hz, 1H); 7.44 (s, 1H); 7.47 (dd, J=7.6, 1.6 Hz, 1H); 10.22 (broad s, 1H); 12.85 (broad s, 1H). 13C NMR (75 MHz, CDCl3): δ 24.8, 30.0, 115.1, 123.5, 127.8, 127.9, 129.0, 139.0, 167.5, 169.0.
