Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-methoxy-4-(4-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)-benzaldehyde (580 mg) obtained in Example 1 in THF (10 mL) and ethanol (10 mL), 2-(diethoxyphosphoryl)-5-[1,3]dioxolan-2-yl valeric acid ethyl ester (826 mg) and lithium hydroxide monohydrate (205 mg) were added one by one, and the reaction solution was agitated at room temperature overnight. After confirming disappearance of the starting materials, water and ethyl acetate were added to the reaction solution, and the organic layer was partitioned. After the obtained organic layer was washed with a saturated saline solution, it was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (elution solvent:ethyl acetate→ethyl acetate:ethanol=20:1), and it was obtained 485 mg, the title compound was obtained as an isomer mixture (E:Z=4:1). The physical properties of the compound are as follows.
