Reaction Steps

As in Example 111, 6-methoxy-3-pentyl-2-benzofurancarboxaldehyde (4.82 g) and (carbomethoxymethylene)triphenylphosphorane (6.7 g) in dichloromethane (75 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 42 hours. Purification of the crude reaction product by HPLC (diethyl ether-hexane; 1:12) gave 4.55 g of (E)-3-(6-methoxy-3-pentylbenzofuran-2-yl)-2-propenoic acid methyl ester as an oil.
