Procedure

Sodium methoxide (0.05 g, 0.9 mmol) was added to 1M solution of lithium aluminum hydride in tetrahydrofuran (20 mL, 20 mmol). The mixture was cooled to 0° C., and a solution of the above alcohol (3.67 g, 19.7 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (30 mL) was slowly added. The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 1.5 h and subsequently for 1.5 h at ambient temperature. Ethyl acetate (3.3 mL, 34 mmol) was added at 0° C. and the mixture was then stirred for 20 min without cooling. 1,4-Diiodobenzene (6.6 g, 20 mmol), anhydrous zinc chloride (1.64 g, 12 mmol), tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium chloroform complex (0.41 g, 0.4 mmol), and tri-(2-furyl)phosphine (0.37 g, 1.6 mmol) were added; the mixture was evacuated and kept under nitrogen. Reaction mixture was heated at 65° C. for 16 h, and then cooled down. Methanol (10 mL) was added and the mixture was stirred for additional 1 h. The reaction suspension was diluted with ether (150 mL), and saturated aqueous solution of ammonium chloride (5 mL) was added. The mixture was filtered through a paddle of silica gel and the solid phase was thoroughly washed with ether. Solvents were evaporated in vacuo and the residue was submitted to column chromatography (silica gel Fluka 60; benzene/chloroform 1:0-0:1) affording (Z)-3-(4-iodophenyl)-3-(2-methylbenzo[b]furan-5-yl)allyl alcohol as light brown solid.
