Conjugate addition of p-isopropylphenylmagnesium bromide to ethyl acrylate yields ethyl 3-(4'-isopropylphenyl)propionate (II) which on LAH reduction followed by subsequent oxidation affords IV.IV on modified Wittig reaction with ethyl α-diethyl phosphonopropionate furnishes the cis-(IA)- and trans-(IB)-isomers of the title compound.
