Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-methoxycarbonylphenylmethyltriphenylphosphine bromide (4.83 g) in THF (20 ml), potassium t-butoxide (600 mg) was added. The mixture was stirred for 1 hour at room temperature. To the reaction solution, 2-nitro-5-chlorobenzaldehyde (742 mg) was added at 0° C. The mixture was stirred for 30 minutes at room temperature. The reaction mixture was poured into diluted HCl. The mixture was extracted with hexane-AcOEt. The organic layer was washed, dried over and concentrated under the reduced pressure. The residue was purified on silica gel column chromatography (hexane-AcOEt) and recrystallization from the mixture solvent of hexane-AcOEt to give the title compound (680 mg) having the following physical data.
