Procedure

2.20 g (9.71 mmol) of 4-(tert-butyl)benzyl bromide and 2.02 g (14.59 mmol) of anhydrous potassium carbonate are added to a solution of 2 g (3.6 mmol) of methyl E4-[2-[2-(4-cyanophenyl)ethyl]-4-(2-hydroxyphenyl)but-3-enyl]benzoate in 8 ml of dry acetonitrile, and the mixture is heated under reflux for 12 hours. The mixture is then filtered and the filtrate is evaporated to dryness. The residue is purified by chromatography on silica gel (mobile phase: cyclohexane/ethyl acetate 10:1). 1.9 g (3.30 mmol, 97% purity, 92% yield) of an oil are isolated.
