Procedure

To a solution of 1-[(E)-3-bromo-1-propenyl]-3-nitrobenzene (Preparation 22, 820 mg, 3.23 mmol) in dichloromethane (3 ml) was added rhodium (II) acetate dimer (20 mg, 0.046 mmol). To the mixture was added dropwise at room temperature over 3 h a solution of ethyl diazoacetate (0.47 ml, 510 mg, 4.47 mmol) in dichloromethane (3 ml), then the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 66 h. The mixture was purified by silica (100 g) column chromatography eluting with hexane:dichloromethane 100:0 to 50:50. Product containing fractions were combined and concentrated in vacuo to afford the title compound as a colourless oil (65 mg, 7%).
