Procedure: A solution of freshly generated phenyldiazomethane (2.44 g, 20.7 mmol) in 10 mL of anhydrous THF was added to ethyl 4-(4-chloro-2-nitrophenyl)-4-hydroxy-2-butynoate (5.86 g, 20.7 mmol) in 10 mL THF and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 18 hours. The reaction mixture was quenched with excess ethereal acetic acid and concentrated via rotary evaporation to an oil (12.24 g) which solidified on cooling. This was filtered to yield the title compound as a pale yellow solid (2.42 g). The filtrate was concentrated via rotary evaporation to an oil which was triturated with hexane:ethyl acetate (4:1) to yield an additional 1.52 g of the title compound (48% combined yield). The reaction mixture was quenched with excess ethereal acetic acid concentrated via rotary evaporation to an oil (12.24 g) which on cooling This was filtered

Procedure: In an oven-dried round bottom flask was placed benzaldehyde tosylhydrazone (1.15 g, 4.2 mmol), followed by 4.3 mL of a 1.0 M solution of sodium methoxide in methanol (2.3 g Na metal dissolved in absolute methanol and diluted to 100 mL). The mixture was swirled until all the contents dissolved. Most of the solvent was removed via rotary evaporation and the last traces of solvent by evacuation of the flask under high vacuum for 2 hours. The solid obtained was subjected to a Kugelrohr distillation at 215° C. and 200 millitorr for 1 hour. At 68-70° C., the title compound, as a red oil, was collected in a receiver flask in a quantitative yield. In an oven-dried round bottom flask was placed dissolved Most of the solvent was removed via rotary evaporation The solid obtained was subjected to a Kugelrohr distillation at 215° C. 200 millitorr for 1 hour At 68-70° C., the title compound, as a red oil, was collected in a receiver flask in a quantitative yield
