Procedure

5.4 g (15 mmol) of 1-[5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-4-(2-ethoxyethoxy)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphth-2-yl]prop-2-yn-1-ol and 2.6 g (11 mmol) of 4-iodobenzoic acid are dissolved in 125 mL of DMF and 50 mL of triethylamine. 110 mg of copper iodide and 210 mg of dichloropalladiumbis(triphenylphosphine) are added, and the reaction medium is stirred at 50° C. for 2 hours 30 minutes. The reaction medium is poured into ammonium chloride solution and extracted with ethyl acetate. The residue is purified on a column of silica (eluent: 6/4 heptane/EtOAc). The desired product is obtained in the form of yellowish crystals (m=2.5 g; yield=50%; m.p.=158° C.) 1H NMR (DMSO D6): 1.12 (t, J=7.0 Hz, 3H); 1.23 (s, 6H); 1.35 (s, 6H); 1.56-1.60 (m, 4H); 3.50 (q, J=7.0 Hz, 2H); 3.75 (m, 2H); 4.06 (m, 2H); 5.52 (d, J=5.0 Hz, 1H); 6.09 (d, J=4.9 Hz, 1H); 6.90 (s, 1H); 7.11 (s, 1H); 7.54 (d, J=8.3 Hz, 2H); 7.93 (d, J=8.3 Hz, 2H), 13.1 (bs, 1H).
