The general part of the experimental section [1] has been presented elsewhere. To a solution of 4,5-dimethoxy-4-nitrobenzophenone (8.0 g, 36 mmol) in 80 ml of ethanol, NaBH4 (0.67 g) was added. After 15 minutes the reaction mixture was acidified with hydrochloric acid (20 %) to pH 6. The precipitate obtained was filtered off and purified by crystallisation from ethanol to yield 5.73 g (70 %) of 1-(4,5-dimethoxy-2-nitrophenyl)ethanol as yellow needles. After dilution of the acidified filtrate with water (100 ml) an additional quantity (1.15 g) of the titled compound was isolated.
M.p. 126°C (ethanol).
IR (cm-1): 3260 (OH).
1H NMR (CDCl3, 80 MHz): 7.53 (s, 1H, 3-HAr); 7.28 (s, 1H, 6-HAr); 5.52 (k, 1H, J=6.3, CH); 3.93 (s, 3H, OCH3); 3.88 (s, 3H, OCH3); 2.56 (broad s., 1H, OH); 1.48 (d, 3H, J=6.3, CH3).
Anal. calc. for C10H13NO5 (227.22): C 52.86, H 5.76; Found: C 52.72, H 5.89.
