Temperature: 120 °C

Procedure

Silver carbonate (0.17 g, 0.61 mmol) is added to a solution of [3-(4′-chloro-4-methyl-biphenyl-3-yl)-1,1-dimethylprop-2-ynyloxy]acetic acid (2.1 g, 6.13 mmol) in anhydrous acetonitrile (15 ml) in a microwave vial. The reaction mixture is stirred and heated to 120° C. for 40 minutes under microwave irradiation to give a brown suspension. The mixture is evaporated in vacuo, then diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts are dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and the filtrate evaporated in vacuo to give 6-[1-(4′-chloro-4-methylbiphenyl-3-yl)methylidene]-5,5-dimethyl-[1,4]dioxan-2-one (1.75 g) as a solid.
