Reaction Steps

10.83 g (23.6 mmol) of Cinnamyltriphenylphosphonium bromide was added to 2.70 g (24.10 mmol) of t-BuOK in 100 mL THF and the resulting solution was stirred at RT for 30 min. The reaction mixture was cooled to 0° C. and 8 g (21.4 mmol) of the aldehyde (62) was added in 35 mL THF. The solution was warmed to RT and stirred for 5 hrs. The solution was poured into 200 mL water. The precipitated product was separated by filtration to give 7.5 g (74% yield) of pure target molecule.
