Procedure

In a stream of argon, to 30 ml of tetrahydrofuran was added 0.95 g of phenyllithium (19% solution in dibutylether) (2.15 mmol). To this mixture, 0.78 g (1.98 mmol) of thiophene-2-ylmethyltriphenylphosphonium bromide was added under cooling. After the mixture was well-stirred, 0.38 g (1.98 mmol) of 2,4,6-trimethoxybenzaldehyde dissolved in 3 ml of tetrahydrofuran was added dropwise. The mixture was reacted with stirring for 1.5 hours. After the reaction mixture was poured into 70 ml of ice water, extraction with 200 ml of chloroform, washing with a saturated saline solution, drying over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentration were performed. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography to give 508 mg (yield: 92%) of 2-[2-(2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl)vinyl]thiophene as a colorless crystal.
