A mixture of 12.2 g of 2-trifluoromethylbenzaldehyde, 11.2 g of 2-methoxyethyl acetoacetate, 1 ml of piperidine, 2 ml of acetic acid and 150 ml of benzene is refluxed under the condition of azeotropic dehydration for 3.5 hours. The solvent is distilled off under reduced pressure to give red brown oil.
