Participants

Reaction Steps

Sodium ethoxide in ethanol (0.23 g Na in 10 mL ethanol) was added to a solution containing diethyl p-nitrobenzylphosphonate (2.73 g, 0.01 mole), -bromobenzaldehyde (1.85 g, 0.01 mole) and ethanol (50 mL) at 0° C. The mixture was warmed to room temperature and stirred overnight. The product was filtered, washed with ethanol and vacuum-dried overnight to give trans-4-formyl-4'-nitrostilbene (2.826 g, 0.0093 mole, 93%, m.p. 251-219° C.).
