Reaction Steps

A mixture of 10.0 g (53.7 mmol) 2,2-difluoro-benzo[1,3]dioxole-5-carbaldehyde, 6.24 g (60.0 mmol) malonic acid, 0.46 g (5.40 mmol) piperidine and 40 ml pyridine was kept at reflux temperature until carbon dioxide development ceased (3 h). After cooling to room temperature the reaction mixture was poured onto 100 g ice and 30 ml 6N HCl. The precipitate was isolated, washed with water and dried. Yield: 8.60 g (70%) 3-(2,2-Difluoro-benzo[1,3]dioxol-5-yl) -acrylic acid.
