Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 2-butyl-2-phenylhex-5-enenitrile (733 mg, step A) in dichloromethane (65 mL) was added benzylidene-bis(tricyclhexylphosphine) dichlororuthenium (134 mg) and the resulting suspension was heated under reflux for 1 h. The solvent was removed in vacuo to give the title compound. The crude product was used for the reduction to the aldehyde without purification. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 1.93 (2H, t, J=12.4 Hz), 2.11 (2H, m), 2.30 (2H, m), 2.57 (2H, t, J=12.0 Hz), 5.91 (2H, m), 7.38 (5H, m).
