Abstract
The preparation of 4,4'-dimethylstilbenedicarboxylate by acetylating 4,4'-bis(methoxycarbonyl)benzoin to give 4,4'-bis(methoxycarbonyl)benzoin acetate, selectively reducing 4,4'-bis(methoxycarbonyl)benzoin acetate with hydrogen to give 1,2-bis(4-methoxycarbonylphenyl)ethanol, and subjecting the 1,2-bis(4-methoxycarbonylphenyl)ethanol to either (1) dehydration or (2) acetylation to 1,2-bis(4-carbomethoxyphenyl)-1-acetoxy ethane followed by pyrolysis thereof to give the 4,4'-dimethylstilbenedicarboxylate. In this process, the new compounds 4,4'-bis(methoxycarbonyl)benzoin acetate, 1,2-bis(4-methoxycarbonylphenyl)ethanol, and 1,2-bis(4-carbomethoxyphenyl)-1-acetoxy ethane are produced and the novel preparations thereof are performed.
