Procedure

A solution of 1.4 g (3.13 mmol, 92% pure) of methyl E-4-[3-(4-cyanobenzyl)-5-(2-hydroxyphenyl)pent-4-enyl]benzoate (Example 75A) in 7 ml of dry acetonitrile is mixed with 1.42 g (6.26 mmol) 4-(tert-butyl)benzyl bromide and 1.30 g (9.39 mmol) of anhydrous potassium carbonate and heated to reflux for 12 hours. The mixture is then filtered and the filtrate is concentrated to dryness. The residue is directly purified by chromatography on silica gel (mobile phase: cyclohexane/ethyl acetate 10:1, then 1:5). 1.85 g (3.32 mmol, 93% purity, 98% yield) of an oil are isolated.
