The synthetic procedure [1] has been presented elsewhere. Ethyl (Z)-3-(2-methoxyphenyl)-2-butenoate was obtained (1.63 g, 17%) as a colourless oil.
B.p. 159°/12 mmHg (Kugelrohr) (lit.[2] (E) and (Z)-mixture, 162-4°/16 mmHg
UV (ethanol) 272 (2982), 212 (19925) nm.

1H-NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) 1.05 (3H, t, J 7.3 Hz, -OCH2CH3), 2.14 (3H, d, J 1.5 Hz, CH3), 3.79 (3H, s, OCH3), 3.96 (2H, q, J 7.3 Hz, -OCH2CH3), 5.95 (1H, q, J 1.5 Hz, =CH), 6.89 (1H, bd, J 8.2 Hz, H3'), 6.92 (1H, ddd, J 7.5, 7.2, 1.0 Hz, H5'), 7.01 (1H, dd, J 7.5, 1.9 Hz, H6'), 7.29 (1H, ddd, J 8.2, 7.2, 1.9 Hz, H4'). Stereochemistry confirmed by n.O.e. difference spectroscopy. Irradiation at 2.14 produced a 4% n.O.e. at 5.95. Irradiation at 5.95 produced a 6% n.O.e. at 2.14.
