Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

3-Carboxybenzaldehyde (25 g, 0.167 mol) and K2CO3 (69 g, 0.499 mol) were added to water (250 mL) and cooled to 0-5° C. Trimethyl phosphonoacetate (32.3 mL, 0.2 mol) was charged dropwise maintaining the reaction temperature below 15° C. The reaction was warmed and stirred at RT for 17 h. The mixture was acidified to pH˜1, filtered and dried in vacuo to afford the product as an off-white solid (37.25 g, >100%—slightly wet). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CD3OD) δ: 8.23 (1H, s), 8.06 (1H, d, J=7.8 Hz), 7.86 (1H, d, J=7.5 Hz), 7.75 (1H, d, J=15.9 Hz), 6.61 (1H, d, J=16.2 Hz), 7.54 (1H, t), 3.81 (3H, s).
