反応手順

A solution of 33.4 g of carbomethoxymethylene triphenylphosphine [Helv. Chim. Acta. 40, 1242 (1957)] in 500 ml of dry benzene under nitrogen is treated with 10 g of 2-(bromoacetyl)pyridine and heated at reflux temperature for 2 hours. The reaction mixture is cooled and filtered to remove carbomethoxymethyl triphenylphosphonium bromide. The filtrate, containing triphenylphosphine, is treated with methyl bromoacetate and heated at reflux temperature for 2 hours. Cooling and filtration removes additional phosphonium salt. The filtrate is concentrated in vacuo yielding the title compound.
