Reaktionsschritte

A solution of (4-methoxyphenyl)methyltriphenylphosphonium bromide (2.40 g, 5.18 mmol, 1.0 equiv.) in THF (10 mL), was cooled to 0° C. After adding n-BuLi (1.6 M in hexanes, 3.2 mL, 5.18 mmol, 1.0 equiv.) at 0° C., the red suspension was stirred at 0° C. for 15 min. 3-(4-tert-Butylphenyl)-2-methylpropanal (1.59 g, 7.77 mmol, 1.5 equiv.) in THF (4 mL) was added, and the mixture was stirred at 0° C.→25° C. for 12 h. After addition of H2O at 25° C., the aqueous layer was extracted with hexanes, the combined organic phases were dried (MgSO4), filtered and the filtrate was concentrated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on SiO2 (cyclohexane/EtOAc 995:5→99:1) to yield 1.33 g (83%) of the title compound as a colorless oil.
