9.13 g (55 mM) of 3,4-Dimethoxybenzaldehyde (veratraldehyde) was heated in 100 ml of benzene together with 8.00 mg (50 mM) of diethyl malonate, 0.29 ml of acetic acid, and 0.74 ml of piperidine in an apparatus equipped with a water separation tube (i.e., Dean Stark tube) until 50 mM water was separated. The benzene solution was washed with water and was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. After being dried, the benzene was evaporated in vacuo to obtain 15.40 g crude product. The crude product obtained here had a sufficient purity even without purification, thus could be used as it was in the following step.
