Toluene → methyl-(2E)-3-methyl-5-[(1-phenyl-1-H-tetrazol-5-yl)thio]pent-2-enoate

0.5M Toluene solution (64.2 ml) of potassium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide was added dropwise to a DME (280 ml) solution of ethyl-(2E)-3-methyl-5-[(1-phenyl-1-H-tetrazol-5-yl)sulfonyl]pent-2-enoate (9.0 g, 25.7 mmol) at −60° C. and the reaction solution was stirred at the same temperature for 30 minutes. Subsequently a THF (50 ml) solution of (2R,3S)-2-methyl-3-[(triethylsilyl)oxy]pentanal (12.0 g, 52.1 mmol) was added dropwise at −78° C. and the reaction solution was stirred for one hour. After the reaction solution was warmed to room temperature, distilled water was added. The reaction solution was diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with brine. After the organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and the drying agent was filtered off, the organic layer was concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (Merck, commercial name Silica Gel 60, 230-400 mesh; hexane: diethyl ether=100:1) to obtain the title compound (8.92 g) as a colorless oil. The title compound was determined to be a mixture of E:Z=18:1 by 1H-NMR.
