Procedure

To a solution of (E)-ethyl 3-(4-bromophenyl)acrylate (10.0 g, 39.2 mmol) in dichloromethane (151 mL) cooled to −78° C. was added a solution of diisobutylaluminum hydride (1.0 M in dichloromethane, 82 mL, 82 mmol) dropwise over 15 minutes time. The solution was then stirred for an additional 2 hours followed by the addition of a solution of 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide (250 mL). The mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature, and then the mixture was extracted with dichloromethane. The organic layer was dried and concentrated to afford 8.35 g (100%) of the title compound used directly in the next reaction.
