After cooling, filtration, concentration and distillation, ethyl 4-bromo-3-methylcrotonate was obtained. The latter (33.8 mmol) was added dropwise to triethylphosphite (47.17 mmol) at 100°. The mixture was warmed to 150o and the residue purified by distillation to give triethyl 4-phosphono-3-methylcrotonate (b.p. 120° at 0.5 mm.Hg) as a cis/trans mixture.
