Reaktionsschritte

N,N-Dimethylformamide (33 ml) was added to a mixture of 4-acetylpyridine (2.00 g, 16.5 mmol) and (benzyloxycarbonyl)triphenylphosphonium bromide (8.94 g, 18.2 mmol), and the whole was stirred under ice-cooling. Potassium carbonate (9.12 g, 66.0 mmol) was added thereto, and the whole was stirred at an external temperature of 70° C. overnight. The reaction mixture was diluted with diethyl ether (100 ml), and the whole was washed with water (100 ml, twice) and saturated brine (50 ml) successively. The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to give benzyl 3-(4-pyridyl)-2-butenate (1.77 g, 42%: mixture of E body and Z body) as a pale yellow oily matter.
