“…The formed precipitate was filtered off and dried. The crude product was recrystallized from ethanol to obtain a white crystal (6.52 g, 36.00 mmol, 72% yield): mp 87 °C (lit . 87–88 °C); 1 H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl 3 ) δ 3.82 (s, 3H), 7.38 (dd, J = 8.2, 1.0 Hz, 2H), 7.47 (dd, J = 8.6, 8.2, Hz, 2H), 7.52 (ddd, J = 8.6, 7.8, 1.0 Hz, 2H), 8.02 (d, J = 7.8 Hz, 2H); 13 C{ 1 H} NMR (101 MHz, CDCl 3 ) δ 29.3, 108.8, 119.4, 120.7, 122.1, 128.4, 140.4.…”
