Reaktionsschritte

To 30.74 g of potassium tert-butoxide in 100 ml of dimethylsulfoxide, 16.72 g of nitromethane was added dropwise with stirring under cooling with ice, and after the addition, the mixture was stirred at room temperature for another 1 hour. Then, the reaction mixture was cooled with ice again, and to the reaction mixture, 25.00 g of 2,3,5-trichloropyridine in 100 ml of dimethylsulfoxide was added dropwise with stirring, and after the addition, the mixture was stirred at 70° C. for another 6 hours. After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature, poured into 200 ml of 10% aqueous hydrochloric acid with stirring under cooling with ice and extracted with ethyl acetate (200 ml×1). The resulting organic layer was washed with water (100 ml×1) and dried over saturated aqueous sodium chloride and then anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography using ethyl acetate-hexane (with a gradient of from 5:95 to 10:90) as the eluent to obtain 10.10 g of the desired product as a pale yellow oil.
