The reaction mixture was heated at reflux (90° C. oil-bath) for 19.5 h, cooled to room temperature, and then diluted with EtOAc (155 mL). The organic layer was washed (H2O and brine) and dried. After solvent removal at reduced pressure, the residue was purified on silica gel (10% to 25% EtOAc/hexane) to give 488 mg (91%) of ethyl(E)-3-{2-[3-(1-adamantyl)-4-benzyloxyphenyl]-5-pyrazinyl}-2-propenoate as a yellow solid, mp 145-148° C.
