1-(2,4-Dihydroxy-3-propylphenyl)-2,2,2-trifluoroethanone oxime (4.2 g, 15.96 mmol, prepared by the method described in WO9728137) and PPh3 (8.82 g, 33.6 mmol) were dissolved in THF (250 mL), and the mixture was cooled to 0° C. A solution of DEAD (5.02 mL, 32.0 mmol) in THF (150 mL) was slowly added over a period of 30 min. The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 h at 0° C. After addition of water (500 mL) and extraction with EtOAc (3×300 mL), the combined organic phases were washed with brine (300 mL), dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The product was purified by silica gel flash chromatography (1:6 EtOAc/hexane) to yield 1.96 g (50%) of the title compound as a light yellow powder. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ 1.00 (t, 3H), 1.73 (m, 2H), 2.88 (t, 2H), 5.34 (s, 1H), 6.93 (d, 1H), 7.48 (d, 1H).
