Procedure

To a round-bottomeded flask were added 4-[(4-bromophenyl)(cycloheptylidene)methyl]phenol (9) (4.0 g, 11.2 mmol), t-butyl acrylate (7.2 mL, 6.3 g, 49.2 mmol, 4.4 eq), Pd(OAc)2 (0.52 g, 2.3 mmol, 0.21 eq), Et3N (9.5 mL, 6.90 g, 68.2 mmol, 6.1 eq), P(o-tolyl)3 (1.3 g, 4.2 mmol, 0.38 eq), and CH3CN (100 mL). The reaction mixture was heated overnight at 75° C. with stirring under a nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature and then transferred to a separatory funnel with the aid of EtOAc and H2O. The layers were separated, and the organic phase was washed with brine, dried (MgSO4), filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated to give the crude product as a red-orange oil. The crude product was purified by flush chromatography on silica gel with hexanes:EtOAc (9:1 to 4:1) to give 4.46 g (98%) of compound 10 as a yellow solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 1.45 (s, 9H), 1.50 (m, 8H), 2.21 (m, 4H), 6.42 (d, J=16.1 Hz, 1H), 6.65 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 2H), 6.90 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 2H), 7. 10 (d, J=8.2 Hz, 2H), 7.48 (d, J=15.9 Hz, 1H), 7.57 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 2H), 9.28 (s, 1H).
