Reaction Steps

A solution of E-3-methoxycarbonyl-4-(5-methylfur-2-yl)-but-3-enoic acid t-butyl ester (Method 16; 1.39 g, 4.96 mmol) in trifluoroacetic acid/water (20 ml of 90:10 v/v) was stirred at ambient temperature for 20 mins; the reaction mixture was then diluted with toluene (30 ml) and evaporated in vacuo to yield a brown oil. After further azeotroping with toluene (30 ml), this set solid; trituration with isohexane and collection of the residue yielded the title compound as a brown solid (1.05 g, 95%). NMR 2.33 (s, 3H), 3.65 (s, 2H), 3.72 (s, 3H), 6.29 (d, 1H), 6.85 (d, 1H), 7.41 (s, 1H), 12.34 (bs, 1H).
