Tributyl(1-ethoxyvinyl)tin (4.29 g, 11.88 mmol) and PdCl2(PPh3)2 (422 mg, 0.60 mmol) were added. After stirring at 80° C. for 18 h, the mixture was cooled to room temperature and 3 mL of 10 % HCl was added. The mixture was then stirred for another 30 min, then extracted with ethyl acetate (3×10 mL). The combined organic layer was washed with brine (1×10 mL), dried (MgSO4) and concentrated at reduced pressure. Purification by flash chromatography (80:20 hexane/ethyl acetate) afforded the title compound (669 mg, 56% yield) as a colorless oil:
