7.47 g (138.39 mmol) of sodium methoxide in methanol (85 ml) were initially charged with ice cooling, and 6.04 g (91.44 mmol) of malononitrile were added in portions. Subsequently, 11.84 g (76.84 mmol) of methyl 4,4,4-trifluorocrotonate were added dropwise while stirring, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 min and then heated to reflux for 1 h. Thereafter, the mixture was concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure. The residue was admixed with water and extracted four times with ethyl acetate. The combined organic phases were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. Further purification was effected by chromatography on silica gel (3:1 cyclohexane-ethyl acetate). This gave 1.95 g of the target compound (11% of theory).
