Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2,4-dibenzyloxybenzaldehyde (702 mg) in toluene (30 ml), ethoxycarbonylmethylenetriphenylphosphoran (1.0 g) was added, followed by reflux under heating for 2.5 hours. After the reaction mixture was allowed to stand for cooling, the solvent was distilled off and the residue was purified by a silica gel column chromatography. From the fraction eluted with dichloromethane was obtained ethyl 3-(2,4-dibenzyloxyphenyl)-2-propenoate (794 mg) as an oily product.
