Mode opératoire

To 146 gm (0.327 mol) of the adduct prepared in Example 10 in a 2 L, three-neck round bottom flask equipped with a magnetic stirring bar, condenser, addition funnel, and thermometer connected to a temperature controlling device (Thermowatch, I2R), is added 2-formylbenzenesulfonic acid, sodium salt, hydrate (Aldrich, 80 gm, ~0.35 mol), and methanol (Baker, ~900 gm). The solution is heated to reflux under argon, and sodium methoxide (Aldrich, 80.8 gm of 25% solution in methanol, 0.374 mol) is added from the addition funnel over ~15 min. The solution is heated at reflux for 8 hrs. A 13 C-NMR (DMSO-d6) shows the disappearance of the peaks for starting material at ~28.5 ppm and 29 ppm [--CH2P(C6 H5)3 ]. Most of the methanol is removed on the rotary evaporator (~60° C.). The remaining material is taken up in ~500 mL water, forming a milky suspension. The mixture is adjusted to pH 7 with a few drops of methanesulfonic acid (Aldrich). The mixture is cooled in an ice bath and filtered. A 13C-NMR (DMSO-d6) shows the isolated solid to be mainly triphenylphosphine oxide. The mother liquor is concentrated to ~800 mL on the rotary evaporator and refrigerated overnight. The crystals which form are filtered, dried, and stirred vigorously in hot 50:50 water:toluene. The water layer is concentrated to afford 20 gm of white powder. The combination of 13C-NMR, 1 H-NMR, C.O.S.Y. and N.O.E. indicates that the material is a 60:40 mixture of trans:cis isomers of the substituted stilbene compound.
