Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

In THF (10 ml) was suspended sodium hydride (60%, 440 mg, 11.0 mmol), and to the mixture was added at −30° C. a solution of diethylphosphonoethyl acetate (2.47 g, 11.0 mmol) in THF (10 ml). The mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 30 minutes, and to the mixture was added at −30 ° C. a solution of 6-bromo-2-pyridinecarbaldehyde (1. 86 g, 10.0 mmol) in THF (10 ml). While warming the temperature of the mixture from −30° C. to −10° C., the mixture was stirred for 1.5 hours. To the mixture was added diethylether (40 ml), and the mixture was washed with water (20 ml, 5 ml×2) and saturated brine (5 ml). The organic layer was dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. To the residue was added hexane (10 ml), and the mixture was cooled to 0° C. The precipitated insoluble materials were filtered, which were washed with hexane cooled to 0° C., and dried under reduced pressure to give ethyl 6-bromo-2-pyridineacrylate (2.00 g, 7.81 mmol, 78%).
