Procedure

A solution of n-butyllithium in hexanes (14 ml, 2.5 M) was added drop-wise under a nitrogen atmosphere to ethylene glycol (28 ml) at 0° C. When addition was complete the mixture was stirred 0.5 h at room temperature. 3-Bromo-1,1-bis(2-methyl-phenyl)-1-propene (10.5 g, 35 mmol, prepared in a similar way to the method described in Example 26) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 h and at 70° C. for 24 h. Water (100 ml) was added and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×100 ml). The combined organic extracts was dried (MgSO4) and the solvent evaporated in vacuo. Flash chromatography of the residue on silica gel (250 g) using a mixture of n-heptane and ethyl acetate (10:1) as eluent provided 3.0 g (30%) of 2-(3, 3-bis(2-methylphenyl)-2-propen-1-yloxy) ethanol.
