We describe a highly efficient new methodology for the synthesis of (E)-alpha,beta-unsaturated esters from aldehydes. In our DMAP-catalyzed reaction, both aromatic as well as aliphatic aldehydes furnish the desired products highly regio- and stereoselectively if treated with commercially available or synthetically easily accessible malonic acid half ester. A large scale application in the synthesis of p-methoxycinnamates, which are of use as sunscreen ingredients, is described. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
