Reaktionsschritte

0.5 g of p-toluenesulfonic acid, 6.26 g of 2-(1-hydroxy-1-methoxymethyl)-5-(phenylmethoxy)-4(1H)-pyridinone and 8.35 g of carbethoxymethylenetriphenylphosphorane were stirred for 3 hours in 100 ml of dioxane at 70° C. A clear, dark-colored solution was formed. Evaporation of the solvent in vacuo yielded an oily residue of the title compound and triphenylphosphine oxide. The residue was dissolved in 30 ml of isopropanol and crystals of product began to separate. After standing in a refrigerator overnight, the crystals were filtered off, washed with ether and recrystallized from isopropanol. Yield: 5.72 g, melting point 188° C.
