A solution prepared by dissolving 19.3 g of 1-formyl-6-cyano-2-naphthol and 42.1 g of ethoxycarbonylmethyltriphenylphosphonium bromide in 140 ml of DMF was added dropwise to a solution comprising 13.6 g of anhydrous potassium carbonate and 250 ml of anhydrous methanol, followed by stirring for 3 hours under cooling with ice in a nitrogen stream and 24 hours at room temperature. The precipitate was filtered, and 2.7 liters of water was added to the filtrate, followed by stirring for 2 hours.
