Procedure

m-Chloroperoxybenzoic acid [1.2 g, ALDRICH, 50% (remainder 3-chlorobenzoic acid and water), ca. 7.0 mmol] was added in portions over 0.25 h to a magnetically stirred mixture of 2-[(4-isopropoxy-3-methoxy-phenyl)ethynyl]-5-isopropoxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde (2.20 g, 5.75 mmol) and KHCO3 (1.73 g, 17.3 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (50 mL) maintained at 0° C. (ice-bath). The resulting slurry was stirred for a further 1 h between 0° C. and 18° C. then filtered through Celite® and the solids thus retained rinsed with CH2Cl2 (1×50 mL). The combined filtrates were concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue treated with NH3 (30 ml of a saturated methanolic solution). After 1 h at 18° C. the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue redissolved in CH2Cl2 (200 mL) then concentrated on to silica gel (8 g, 400-200 mesh). The resulting powder was loaded on top of a column of silica (40-10 mesh TLC grade, 10 cm wide×5 cm long) and eluted with 2:1, 1:1 and 1:2 hexane/CH2Cl2 then neat CH2Cl2 (250 ml of each). The appropriate fractions (Rf 0.3 in 1:2 hexane/CH2Cl2) were concentrated under reduced pressure to give the title compound (1.97 g, 92%) as white crystalline masses, mp 130-1° C.
