Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

5.00 g of 4-bromobenzaldehyde was dissolved in 100 mL of N,N-dimethylformamide, to which 2.9 mL of ethyl acrylate, 0.30 g of palladium(II) acetate, 0.35 g of triphenylphosphine, 13.20 g of potassium acetate, and 8.70 g of tetra-n-butylammonium bromide were added, and this solution was stirred for 2.5 hours at 90° C. The reaction mixture was added to a mixture of ethyl acetate and water, and adjusted to pH 2 with 6M hydrochloric acid, and the organic phase was separated therefrom. After the resultant organic phase was washed with water and a saturated sodium chloride solution successively, the washed phase was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was distilled out under reduced pressure. The resultant residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography [eluent; hexane:ethyl acetate=2:1] to yield 4.75 g of ethyl (E)-3-(4-formylphenyl)-2-propenoate as yellow solid.
