Procedure

1.0 g of lithium chloride was suspended in 20 ml of THF, and 5 g of ethyl 2-diethylphosphono-3-phenylpropionate was dropwise added thereto. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for seven minutes. Then, 3.6 ml of DBU was added thereto and further 11 minutes later, a suspension of 0.72 g of paraformaldehyde in THF (20 ml) was added thereto at 0° C. The mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. Then, the mixture was neutralized with 1N hydrochloric acid, and water and ethyl acetate were added thereto. The organic layer was separted, and washed with a saturated sodium chloride aqueous solution and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (n-hexane/ethyl acetate=20/1) to obtain 2.4 g of ethyl 2-benzylacrylate as colorless oily substance.
