Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-[allyl-(5-chloro-2-methoxy-benzenesulfonyl)-amino]-4-allyloxy-benzoic acid methyl ester (243 mg, 0.537 mmol) and carbonylchlorohydrotris(triphenylphosphine)ruthenium (15 mg, 16 mmol) in toluene (2.6 mL) was stirred at 95° C. for 16 h, then another portion of carbonylchlorohydrotris(triphenylphosphine)ruthenium (27 mg, 25 mmol) was added, and stirring was continued over 48 h, then the solvent was evaporated. Chromatography (SiO2, heptane-ethyl acetate gradient) furnished 3-[(5-chloro-2-methoxy-benzenesulfonyl)-propenyl-amino]-4-[(propenyl)oxy]-benzoic acid methyl ester (177 mg, 73%). Light red oil, MS (ISP)=452.1 (M+H)+.
