Procedure

To a suspension of sodium hydride (60% in oil, 1.48 g) in N,N-dimethylformamide (40 ml) was added a solution of diethyl benzylphosphonate (7.69 g) in N,N-dimethylformamide (40 ml) at 0° C. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes, then a solution of 3-nitrobenzaldehyde (5.09 g) was added thereto. After stirring at 50° C. for 1 hour, the mixture was poured into dilute hydrochloric acid, and extracted with ethyl acetate 3 times. The combined organic solution was washed with water and brine, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated. The resultant solid was collected and washed with isopropyl ether to give (E)-3-nitrostilbene (3.97 g).
