The reaction was stirred for 30 minutes, then was filtered through a pad of celite into a flask containing 3.0M methylmagnesium bromide in diethyl ether (4.0 mL, 12 mmol, Aldrich) in tetrahydrofuran (5 mL) also cooled in an ice bath. The celite pad was rinsed with an additional 10 mL of THF. After warming to room temperature, an additional portion of 3.0M methylmagnesium bromide in diethyl ether (4.0 mL, 12 mmol) was added to the reaction mixture. When the reaction was determined to be complete by LCMS, saturated ammonium chloride solution was added to the reaction. After stirring for 20 minutes, the mixture was transferred to a separatory funnel and was extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts were washed with water and brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. Flash chromatography on silica gel, eluting with a gradient from 0-30% EtOAc/Hexanes afforded product (0.28 g, 58%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.70 (d, J=1.4 Hz, 1H), 7.63 (d, J=1.2 Hz, 1H), 1.60 (s, 6H); LCMS (M+H)+: 240.1, 242.1.
