Procedure

A solution of dihydrocinnamaldehyde (6.73 g, 50.2 mmol) and (carboethoxymethylene)triphenylphosphorane (17.84 g, 50.2 mmol) in toluene (250 mL) was refluxed for 18 h. It was then cooled to r.t. and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was taken up in ether (250 mL) and the triphenylphosphine oxide was filtered off. The filtrate was concentrated to afford the intermediate trans-ethyl-(5-phenyl)-2-pentenoate (32.1).

Workup

  1. concentrationconcentrated in vacuo
  2. filtrationthe triphenylphosphine oxide was filtered off
  3. concentrationThe filtrate was concentrated
