Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-hydroxy-4-nitrobenzaldehyde (5 g) in toluene (50 ml) was added carbethoxymethylenetriphenylphosphorane (8.96 g), and the mixture was heated under reflux for 2 h. The mixture was then concentrated and the residue was purified by column chromatography eluting with cyclohexane:ethyl acetate (6:4) to give the title compound. (6.2 g) as a solid, m.p. 95°.
