Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 57.3 g (167 mmol) of methoxymethyl-triphenylphosphonium chloride and 500 ml of THF was cooled to −30° C. under a nitrogen gas stream with a refrigeration medium. 17.3 g (154 mmol) of t-BuOK was added to this mixture, followed by stirring for 1 hour. To this mixture, 300 ml of THF containing 34.0 g (129 mmol) of 3-(trans-4-(trans-4-propylcyclohexyl)cyclohexyl)propanal was added dropwise, while a temperature of −30° C. or less was maintained. After the dropping, a reaction temperature was gradually raised to room temperature, followed by stirring for 5 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered through Celite, and the solvent was then distilled off under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified through silica gel column chromatography (a developing solvent: heptane) to obtain 30.3 g of crude 1-methoxy-4-(trans-4-(trans-4-propylcyclohexyl)cyclohexyl)-1-butene.
