4-(Benzyloxy)-3-methylbenzaldehyde (2.36 g; 10.2 mmole) and ethyl ethoxyacetate (1.62 g; 12.3 mmole) were dissolved in dry THF (10 ml) and cooled to −20° C. Potassium tert-butoxide (1.38 g; 12.3 mmole) dissolved in dry tetrahydrofuran (1 ml) was slowly added and the reaction was stirred over night at −20° C. The reaction was quenched with acetic acid (0.80 g; 13.3 mmole). The crude product was isolated, redissolved in toluene and refluxed overnight with p-toluenesulfonic acid (0.18 g; 1.0 mmole) in a Dean-Stark apparatus to separate the water. The solution was cooled, washed with sodium hydrogen carbonate, dried with magnesium sulfate and evaporated. Purification of the crude product with preparative HPLC (Kromasil C8, 10 μm, 50×500 mm) using acetronitrile (50-100%) in ammonium acetate buffer (pH 7) as mobile phase gave 0.86 g (25% yield) of ethyl (2Z)-3-[4-(benzyloxy)-3-methylphenyl]-2-ethoxyacrylate.
