Procedure

To a stirred solution of 1-(chloromethyl)-4-vinylbenzene (10 g, 66 mmol) in DMF (100 mL) was added potassium phthalimide (13.3 g, 72.1 mmol), and the resultant reaction mixture was heated at 70° C. for 16 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with water and extracted with CHCl3. The combined CHCl3 layer was washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure. Recrystallization from CH3OH afforded the title compound as an off-white solid (8 g, 46%): 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.83 (m, 2H), 7.71 (m, 2H), 7.39 (m, 4H), 6.65 (dd, J=17.6, 10.8 Hz, 1H), 5.72 (d, J=17.6 Hz, 1H), 5.21 (d, J=10.8 Hz, 1H), 4.82 (s, 2H); GCMS m/z 263.2 ([M]+); IR (thin film) 3420, 1133, 718 cm−1.
