Reaction Steps

According to the previously described general procedure (GP1), Knoevenagel condensation (75° C.; 2h30) between 3-fluoro-4-methyl-benzaldehyde (10.519 g; 76.154 mmol) and malonic acid (15.056 g; 144.694 mmol) gave the product 3-(3-fluoro-4-methyl-phenyl)-acrylic acid as a colorless solid (11.860 g; 86%). LC-MS: tR=0.84 min; [M+H]+: no ionisation.
