Triethyl phosphonoacetate → HCID 67231669, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of sodium hydride (55 wt %, 1.97 g) in THF (200 ml) was added at 0° C. ethyl (diethoxyphosphoryl)acetate (9.3 g), and the mixture was stirred at 30 min. To this mixture was added a solution of the compound (4.7 g) obtained in step 1 in THF (200 mL) at 0° C., and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 hr. The mixture was diluted with water (500 mL), extracted with ethyl acetate (500 mL), dried and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was separated and purified by silica gel column chromatography (25% ethyl acetate/hexane) to give ethyl (2E)-3-(5-fluoropyridin-2-yl)prop-2-enoate (6.2 g, 85%) as a white powder.
