Carbon Dioxide → 3-(4-Pentafluorosulfanyl-phenyl)-acrylic Acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5.40 g (23.3 mmol) 4-pentafluorosulfanyl-benzaldehyde, 2.42 g (23.3 mmol) malonic acid, 0.20 g (2.3 mmol) piperidine and 10.0 ml pyridine was kept at reflux temperature until carbon dioxide development ceased (4 h). The reaction mixture was poured into a solution of 100 ml ice and 60 ml 6N HCl. The precipitate was isolated, washed with water, then with n-heptane and dried in vacuum at 40° C. Yield: 5.73 g (90%) 3-(4-pentafluorosulfanyl-phenyl)-acrylic acid.
