A mixture of vanillin 1 ( 0.5g, 3.3mmol) and triphenylphosphine ( 0.86g, 3.3mmol) was dissolved in CH2Cl2. The reaction mixture was cooled in ice bath to -5 °C. Dimethylacetylenedicarboxylate 2 ( 0.56g, 3.3mmol) in CH2Cl2 was added dropwise over a period of 10 min under stirring. The reaction mixture was then refluxed for 4-5 hours, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the solid mass was purified by recrystallization from ethanol to give the desired product as yellow crystals ( 0.45g, 50%).
M.p. 118 °C ( recrystallized from EtOH, uncorrected).
