Procedure

A solution of bis(3-methoxyphenyl)diazomethane, prepared as in Example 84 from 3,3'-dimethoxybenzophenone hydrazone (18.7 g) and activated manganese dioxide (24.3 g) in dichloromethane (125 mL) was added to a solution of methacrolein (10.8 mL) in heptane (70 mL) over 10 minutes at 40° C. The mixture was stirred at 40° C. for 16 hours, and then after the dichloromethane was distilled off, at 85° C. for 1 hour. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue was purified by HPLC (ethyl acetate-hexane; 1:5) to yield 8.0 g of 2,2-bis(3-methoxyphenyl)1-methylcyclopropanecarboxaldehyde. Crystallization of the material from ethyl acetate-hexane provided 6.2 g of the aldehyde, mp 122°-123° C.
