Abstract
The title compound was prepared from p-anisaldehyde and ethyl ethoxyacetate via a racemic synthetic route. The synthesis involves a Claisen-type condensation in which the elimination was unexpectedly promoted by an excess of the ester. The process has been successfully performed on a 2000-L scale with a total yield over seven steps of 19%.
