The synthetic procedure [1] has been presented elsewhere. Ethyl (Z)-2-methyl-5-phenyl-2-pentenoate (0.24 g, 7%) was prepared as a colourless oil.
B.p. 130°/0.4 mmHg (Kugelrohr)
Anal. calc. for C14H18O2 (218.29): C 77.0, H 8.3; found: C 77.4, H 8.2.
IR (film) 2961, 2928, 1701 (s, C=O), 1456, 1240, 1216, 1184(s), 1124(s), 1030 69(s) cm-1.
1H-NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) 1.29 (3H, t, J 7.1 Hz, -OCH2CH3), 1.88 (3H, dt, J 1.5, 1.2 Hz, CH3), 2.68-2.82 (4H, m, 2xCH2), 4.18 (2H, q, J 7.1 Hz, -OCH2CH3), 5.95 (1H, tq, J 7.10, 1.5 Hz, =CH), 7.14-7.32 (5H, m, ArH). Stereochemistry confirmed by n.O.e. difference spectroscopy. Irradiation at 1.88 produced a 16% n.O.e. at 5.95 and irradiation at 5.95 produced a 10% n.O.e. at 1.88.
