The reaction mixture was stirred for 20 min before acetaldehyde (0.55 g, 0.70 mL, 12.41 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred and warmed to 0° C. over 2 h before being quenched with a saturated solution of NH4Cl (10 mL). The product was extracted with ethyl acetate, dried and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane=1:7 to 1:5) to give (S,E)-4-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-ethylidene-3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1(2H)-one 42 (2.9 g, 88%).
