Synthesis of Potentially Biologically Active Methyl-4,5-dimethoxy-2-(2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2- oxoethyl)benzoate

Abstract

Benzoic acid, methyl benzoate compounds and their derivatives are valuable compounds that have a wide range of activities and synthesis of these is important for organic chemists. In this study, the synthesis of methyl-4,5-dimethoxy-2-(2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-oxoethyl) benzoate, methyl ester derivative of benzoic acid, was carried out effectively as a result of a series of reactions starting from 3,4-dimethoxycinnamic acid. The structure of synthesized compound was characterized by 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectra.

Keywords

• Cinnamic acid
• Poly substituted methyl benzoate

Potansiyel Biyolojik Aktif Metil-4,5-dimetoksi-2-(2-(4-metoksifenil)-2-oksoetil)benzoat’ın Sentezi

Abstract

Benzoik asit, metil benzoat bileşikleri ve bunların türevleri oldukça geniş bir alanda aktivite gösteren, sentezi organik kimyacılar için önemli olan kıymetli bileşiklerdir. Bu çalışmada 3,4- dimetoksisinamik asitten başlanarak bir seri reaksiyon sonucunda benzoik asitin metil ester türevi olan metil-4,5-dimetoksi-2-(2-(4-metoksifenil)-2-oksoetil)benzoat’ın sentezi etkin bir şekilde gerçekleştirildi. Sentezlenen bileşiğin yapısı 1H NMR ve 13C NMR spektrumları ile karakterize edildi.
