The general part of the experimental section [1] has been presented elsewhere. To a boiling solution of 4,5-dimethoxy-4-nitrobenzophenone (10.0 g, 35 mmol) in ethanol (85 ml), NaBH4 (0.61 g) was added gradually. After an hour the reaction mixture was diluted with water (300 ml) and then acidified with hydrochloric acid (20 %) to pH 6. The precipitate obtained was filtered off and recrystallized from ethanol to yield 7.75 g (77 %) of 4,5-dimethoxy-2-nitrobenzhydrol as yellow needles.
M.p. 130¡ãC (ethanol).
IR (cm-1): 3500 (OH).
1H NMR (CDCl3, 80 MHz): 7.47 (s, 1H,3-HAr); 7.17 (s, 5H, HPh); 7.13 (s, 1H, 6-HAr); 6.37 (s, 1H, CH); 3.80 (s, 6H, OCH3); 3.12 (broad s, 1H, OH).
Anal. calc. for C15H15NO5 (289.30): C 62.28, H 5.23; Found: C 62.03, H 5.41.
