Procedure

To a solution of diethyl cyanomethylphosphonate (70 mg, 0.0004 mol) in THF (2 mL, 0.02 mol) cooled at 0° C. was added 1.0 M potassium tert-butoxide in THF (0.50 mL) dropwise. The cold bath was removed and the reaction was warmed to room temperature over 30 minutes. The reaction was cooled to 0° C. and a solution of 5-morpholin-4-ylnicotinaldehyde (70 mg, 0.0004 mol) in THF (2 mL, 0.02 mol) was added dropwise. The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 4 h, quenched with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were washed with saturated sodium chloride, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to give (2E)-3-(5-morpholin-4-ylpyridin-3-yl)acrylonitrile (75 mg, 100%) as a mixture of isomers; LC/MS: 216 (M+1).
