Procedure
A solution of 2-(1,3-dihydro-6-methoxy-4-methoxyethoxymethoxy -7-methyl-3-oxoisobenzofuran-5-yl)acetaldehyde (10.3 g) and 2-(triphenyl-phosphoranylidene)-propionaldehyde (11.6 g) in toluene (250 ml) was refluxed for 7 hours. The solvent was removed under vacuum and the residue was chromatographed on silica gel, eluting with 9:1 hexane:ethyl acetate, to afford (E)-4-(1,3-dihydro-6-methoxy-4-methoxyethoxymethoxy-7-methyl -3-oxoisobenzofuran-5-yl)-2-methylbut-2-enaldehyde, mp 67°-68° C., (methylene chloride/hexane).
