Reaction Steps

To a solution of diethyl 2-phenylmalonate (15 ml) in 200 ml of tetrahydrofuran, kept at 0° C. and under nitrogen atmosphere, 3.475 g of sodium hydride are added and the mixture is kept 30 minutes under stirring at 0° C., then it is brought to room temperature. After cooling again to 0° C., the reaction mixture is added with 14.3 g of N-bromosuccinimide. After about 15 minutes, the white solid which separated is filtered off and the filtrate is concentrated to dryness to give a residue which is redissolved in chloroform and dried over sodium sulfate. The solvent is evaporated under reduced pressure to give 15.66 g of the product.
