Steps:

Preparation of trans-dibenzyl glutaconate
Dimethyl glutaconate (mixture of 83% trans and 17% cis, Fluka) was purified twice by flash chromatography on a silica column using solvent gradient 5%-20% ethyl acetate in hexane to obtain trans dimethyl glutaconate (>97%). Trans dimethyl glutaconate (10. 0243g, 0.063 mol) was dissolved in 100 ml H₂O and NaOH (5.8974 g, 0.147 mol) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred under room temperature for 2.5 hours and 10% sulfuric acid was added until pH <2.0. The resulting solution was extracted with ethyl acetate (3 x1 50 ml). The combined organic extracts were dried by Na₂SO₄, filtered and concentrated in vacuo, to give glutaconic acid (7.10 g, 0.055 mol, 86% yield) as white crystals. A 250 ml round bottom flask equipped with a Dean-Stark trap was charged with glutaconic acid (5.9156 g, 0.046 mol), benzyl alcohol (9.6 ml, 0.093 mol), toluene (60 ml) and TsOH·H2O (187.7 mg, 1 mmol). The stirred mixture was refluxed for 4 hours and then cooled to room temperature. Upon the removal of the solvent in vacuo, the residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel (hexane/EtOAc 9:1) to give trans-dibenzyl glutaconate (11.16 g, 0.036 mol, 79% yeild) as colorless oil.
