Procedure

To a solution of trimethylsulfoxonium iodide (1.805 g, 8.20 mmol) in dry dimethyl sulfoxide (20 mL) sodium hydride 60% dispersion in mineral oil (0.310 g, 7.75 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred for 1 hour at room temperature. A solution of ethyl 2-(2,6-bis{[(methyloxy)methyl]oxy}phenyl)-2-propenoate (Intermediate 81, 1.35 g) in dry dimethyl sulfoxide (10 mL) was slowly added and the reaction mixture was stirred for 1 hour at room temperature. The reaction was quenched with an aqueous saturated solution of ammonium chloride (10 ml), diluted with water (20 ml) and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×50 ml). The organic layer was washed with water (50 ml), dried over sodium sulphate, filtered and evaporated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (Biotage system) on silica gel using a 50 g SNAP column and cyclohexane to cyclohexane/ethyl acetate 8:2 as eluents affording the title as a colourless oil (1.14 g).
