Then a solution of 3.63 mL (40 mmol) isobutyraldehyde and 30 mL diethyl ether is added dropwise at ambient temperature and the mixture is left overnight with stirring. The reaction mixture is poured onto ice water, combined with 30 mL 20% sulphuric acid and extracted with diethyl ether. The combined organic phases are washed successively with sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, water and sodium chloride solution, dried with sodium sulphate and evaporated down. The chromatographic purification of the residue yields the target compound in the form of a brown oil.
