Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of ethyl N-(3-bromophenyl)glycinate (Example B) (4 g, 15.5 mmol), diethyl vinylphosphonate (4.92 g, 30 mmol), and bis(triphenylphosphine) palladium (II) chloride (1 g) in dimethylformamide (15 ml) and triethyamine (5 ml) is immersed in an oil bath (95° C.) and stirred for 20 hours. After cooling the dimethylformamide is removed in vacuo and the oily brown residue is dissolved in a saturated solution of sodium chloride and extracted with chloroform. The chloroform layer is dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated to give a residue (3.2 g). Purification is accomplished by silica gel chromatography (ethyl acetate as eluant, a single fluorescent spot on tlc, Rf=0.5 (ethyl acetate)).
