Reaction Steps

Dimethyl 4-(allyloxy)phthalate [prepared according to Inouye, M.; Tsuchiya, K.; Kitao, T. Angew. Chem. 1992, 104, 198–200 (See also Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. Engl., 1992, 204–205)] (9.9 g, 38 mmol) was dissolved in THF (40 mL) and cooled to 0° C. before the dropwise addition of lithium aluminium hydride (1M in THF, 77 mL, 77 mmol) over 10 min. The mixture was then allowed to stir at room temperature for 3 h before being quenched cautiously by the addition of water (1.4 mL) followed by 2M NaOH (1.4 mL). Excess MgSO4 was then added followed by water until a granular precipitate formed (ca. 5 mL). The mixture was then filtered and evaporated to a brown oil (7.1 g, ca. 95%). 1H NMR showed the material to be of ca. 85% purity. It was used directly in the next stage without further purification; δH (CDCl3, 400 MHz) 2.63 (1H, brs), 2.91 (1H, brs), 4.52 (2H, m), 4.67 (4H, m), 5.26 (1H, dd), 5.38 (1H, dd), 5.97–6.09 (1H, m), 6.80 (1H, dd), 6.92 (1H, d), 7.22 (1H, d).
