Procedure

A mixture of 3-methoxyacrylic acid methyl ester (1), benzyl alcohol (1.2 equivalents), a solution of sodium methoxide in methanol (0.05 equivalents), and toluene (3.7 parts) is heated for 3 hours to remove methanol under azeotropic distillation. The mixture is concentrated in vacuo to remove the solvent, distilled in vacuo to remove by-products (94° to 112° C. at 3 mmHg), and cooled. The residue is chromatographed over silica gel (benzene:ethyl acetate=95:5) to give 3-benzyloxyacrylic acid benzyl ester (2). Yield: 45%.
