A solution of 3-(diethoxyphosphoryl)succinic acid 1-tert-butyl ester (100 g, 0.32 mol) in THF (300 ml) was added dropwise over 15 min to a stirred solution of potassium tert-butoxide (110 g, 0.98 mol) in THF (300 ml), between −10 and −5° C., under nitrogen. The mixture was stirred at −10° C. for 15 min and then a solution of hydrocinnamaldehyde (46.8 g, 0.35 mmol) in THF (100 ml) was added dropwise over 15 min, between −13 and −8° C. The mixture was stirred at −10° C. for 30 min and then a solution of citric acid (111 g, 0.58 mol) in demineralised water (500 ml), and ethyl acetate (500 ml), were added. The pH was adjusted to pH 4 with aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (50%) and the phases were separated. The aqueous fraction was washed with ethyl acetate (500 ml) and the combined organic fractions were washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution (500 ml), citric acid solution (10%, 500 ml) and demineralised water (500 ml) and then concentrated in vacuo. The resulting solid was slurried in cyclohexane (470 ml) for 1 hour and then the mixture was filtered. The residue was washed with cyclohexane (2×50 ml) and dried in vacuo to leave the title compound as a colourless solid (76 g, 81% yield, 99% pure by HPLC).
