Part B. 3-[3-(4-nitrophenyl)-1-oxo-2-propenyl]benzonitrile (0.500 gm, 1.79 mmol) was suspended in toluene and methyl (triphenylphosphoranylidene)acetate (0.600 gm, 1.79 mmol) was added. The suspension was heated to reflux (at which point the solution becomes homogeneous) for 5 hrs. The reaction was cooled to room temperature and the solvent removed under vacuum. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel (20% ethyl acetate/toluene) to afford methyl 3-(3-cyanophenyl)-5-(4-nitrophenyl)-2,4-pentadienoate 0.441 gm (74%) as a mixture of the E/Z isomers. MS: 335(M+H)+ ; 1H NMR (CDCl3): 3.6 (s, 3H), 3.8 (s, 3H), 5.9 (s, 1H), 6.25 (m, 2H), 6.6 (d, 1H), 7.15 (m, 2H), 7.6 (m, 11H), 8.2 (d, 4H), 8.65 (d, 1H).
