Procedure

A solution of N-(methoxymethyl)-N-(phenylmethyl)-N-(trimethylsilyl)methylamine (32.78 g, 0.138 mol) in CH2Cl2 (50 mL) was added dropwise, over a 30 minutes period, to a stirred solution of (E)-4-(3,4-dichloro-phenyl)-but-3-en-2-one (19.80 g, 0.092 mol) and trifluoroacetic acid (1.05 mL, 0.009 mol) in CH2Cl2 (100 mL) at 0° C. The ice bath was removed, and the solution was stirred at 25° C. for an additional 48 h. It was then concentrated and purification by flash chromatography (SiO2, CH2Cl2/MeOH 98:2) afforded 28.3 g (88%) of the title compound as a yellow oil. ES-MS m/e: 348.2 (M+H+).
