Procedure
To a solution of (3-phenylpropyl)triphenylphosphonium bromide (0.956 g, 2.07 mmol) in THF (5 mL) at −78° C. was slowly added n-butyllithium (2.5 M in hexanes, 0.83 mL, 2.07 mmol) and the mixture was stirred for 15 minutes. 5-(4-Bromo-phenyl)-3-methyl-isoxazole-4-carbaldehyde (0.500 g, 1.88 mmol) in THF (3 mL) was added, and the reaction was warmed to 0° C. and stirred for 1 hour. The solution was diluted with 1 N aqueous HCl and extracted twice with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4, decanted, and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (0-20% EtOAc in hexanes) to give the title compound.
