Reaktionsschritte

45.6 g (262 mmol) of diethyl azadicarboxylate (DEAD) was added dropwise to a solution of 30.0 g (219 mmol) of 2-(6-methyl-2-pyridyl)ethanol, 38.6 g (262 mmol) of phthalimide and 68.6 g (262 mmol) of triphenylphosphine in 300 ml of tetrahydrofuran at a temperature of 15° to 25° C. The mixture was stirred overnight. Water was added to the mixture. After extraction with ethyl acetate, the organic layer was washed with water After extraction with 2N hydrochloric acid, a 3N sodium hydroxide solution was added to the aqueous layer at 0° C. to make it alkaline. White crystals thus formed were collected by filtration to give 39.04 g (yield: 67%) of the intended compound.
