Reaction of ethoxycarbonylcarbene with phenyl-
(0.25 mol) of ethyl 2-phenylcyclopropanecarboxylate
was added over a period of 2.0–2.5 h. The temperature
of the reaction medium was maintained in the range
25–35°С. After the whole amount of the ester was
added, the mixture was stirred for an additional 30 min.
After that, distilled water and then 5% HCl were added
dropwise. The ether layer was separated, and the aqueous
layer was extracted with ether (2 × 20 mL). The ether
extracts were combined with the ether layer and dried
over calcined Na2SO4. After distillation of the diethyl
ether, the products were isolated by vacuum distillation.
Compounds 5 and 6 were prepared similarly.
substituted styrenes. A mixture of 0.6 mol of styrene
or p-phenyl-substituted styrene and 0.2 g of anhydrous
copper sulfate (catalyst) was heated to 40–50°С, and
0.5 mol of ethyl diazoacetate was added dropwise with
stirring at a rate of 10–12 g h–1.After the whole amount of
ethyl diazoacetate was added and the nitrogen evolution
ceased, the mixture was cooled to room temperature.
The catalyst (СuSO4) was filtered off and extracted
several times with diethyl ether, and the organic phases
were combined. Then, the ether was distilled off, and
the residue was distilled in a vacuum. The first fraction
contained excess styrene or phenyl-substituted styrene,
and then the main fraction (products 1–3) was distilled.
The IR spectra of 4–6 contain absorption bands in
the ranges 3095–3100 (νС–Н ring); 2980, 2940, 2880
(νС–Н aliph); 2900–3100 cm–1 (ОН).
The IR spectra of 1–3 contain absorption bands at
3095–3100, 1030–1035 (νС–H ring); 2980, 2940, 2880
(νC–H aliph), 750–760 (νC–Cl); 1690, 1720 (νC=O); 1450–
1500; 1570–1620, 1335, and 1525 cm–1 (NO2, for 3);
and out-of-plane C–H bending vibration bands of
monosubstituted benzene at 690–750 cm–1 for 1.
