Reaktionsschritte

In N,N-dimethylformamide (10 ml) was suspended 1.15 g of [(2-methylphenyl)methyl]triphenylphosphonium bromide. To the suspension was added 288 mg of potassium tert-butoxide, followed by stirring for 15 minutes under ice-cooling. A solution of 500 mg of 1-[(2-methoxy-3-pyridinyl)methyl]-4-piperidinecarboxaldehyde dissolved in 3 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide was added dropwise thereinto, followed by stirring at room temperature overnight. Ice-water was added to the reaction solution, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and brine, and then dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated, and the crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography (n-hexane:ethyl acetate=1:1), to give 473 mg of the title compound as a pale yellow oil.
