Procedure
Entire reaction was performed under argon using syringe septa technique. 4-(5-trifluoromethyl-pyridin-2-yloxy)-benzaldehyde (2.170 mmol, 1 eq) and ammonium acetate (1.736 mmol, 0.8 eq) were dissolved in nitromethane (3 ml) and reaction mixture was stirred at 95° C. overnight. The volatile was removed in vacuo and the residue was partitioned between DCM and water. Organic layers were combined, washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and evaporated giving 2-[4-(2-nitro-vinyl)-phenoxy]-5-trifluoromethyl-pyridine (1.225 mmol, yield=56%, purity=95%). [M+H]+=311.23 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ/ppm 7.27-7.36 (m, 3H), 7.91-7.98 (m, 2H), 8.24-8.30 (m, 1H), 8.55-8.62 (m, 1H)
