Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of malonic acid (17.06 g, 163.96 mmol) in DMSO (65 mL) was treated with a solution of AcOH (0.1 mL, 1.49 mmol) and piperidine (0.15 mL, 1.49 mmol) in DMSO (4 mL). The reaction solution was warmed to 65° C. and hydrocinnamaldehyde (10 g, 74.53 mmol) was added dropwise within 1.5 hr. After the addition ended, the reaction mixture was stirred for further 2 h at 65° C. The solution was cooled to room temperature, taken up in H2O and extracted with Et2O. The combined organic extracts were washed with 5% aqueous KHSO4 and brine, dried over MgSO4, and evaporated to dryness. The crude compound was purified by a silica gel column to produce the title compound (10.4 g, 75˜90%)
