70 °C

A stirred solution of 4-fluoro-2-methyl-benzaldehyde (20 g, 144.9 mmol) and malonic acid (30.1 g, 289.8 mmol) in pyridine (100 mL) was heated to 50° C. Piperidine (10 mL) was added and the reaction mixture was heated at 70° C. for 18 h. The reaction mixture was cooled RT and poured into chilled aqueous 1N HCl solution (1500 mL), the resulting precipitate was filtered and washed with petroleum ether 60-80 and dried in vacuo to obtain (E)-3-(4-fluoro-2-methylphenyl)acrylic acid (18 g, 69%) as an off white solid.
