Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

263.4 g of methoxymethyltriphenylphosphonium chloride was dispersed in 750 mL of tetrahydrofuran (THF) and 86.2 g of potassium-t-butoxide were added at −9 to −4° C. over 5 minutes. After stirring at −4 to −11° C. for 30 minutes, 100.0 g of methyl 4-oxocyclohexanecarboxylate was dissolved in 300 mL of THF and the resulting solution added dropwise at −10 to 4° C. over 80 minutes. After stirring at 0 to 4° C. for 60 minutes, 7.0 g of ammonium chloride and 20 mL of water were added. The solvent of the reaction mixture was distilled off under reduced pressure and 600 mL of hexane was added, followed by stirring at room temperature for 30 minutes. The precipitate was filtrated and the precipitate was suspended and washed again with 600 mL of hexane. After combining with the hexane filtrate, the mixture was washed in turn with a mixed solution of methanol-water (1:1), water, and saturated solution. After dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure to obtain 103 g of methyl 4-methoxymethylidenecyclohexanecarboxylate as an oily substance.
