Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5 g (0.03759 mol) 5-ethyl-2-vinyl-pyridine dissolved in 75 mL of 25% aqueous tertiary butanol added 8.02 g (0.045 mol) N-bromosuccinimide at 25-30° C. in 30 min. Reaction mixture was stirred for 2 hr. The progress of reaction was monitored by TLC and after complete consumption of the 5-ethyl-2-vinyl-pyridine, 6.01 g (0.03759 mol) potassium salt of 4-hydroxy benzaldehyde was added. Reaction mixture was stirred for 18 hr. at 75-80° C. Subsequent work-up in water and extraction with ethyl acetate yielded 8.04 g (79%) of the titled product. m.p. 81° C.
