Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of 2-(4-bromophenyl)-2-hydroxyacetic acid (5.0 g, 22 mmol) in MeOH (10 mL) was added 2,2-dimethoxypropane (3.4 g, 33 mmol) and 4-methylbenzene-1-sulfonic acid (2.0 mg, 0.010 mmol). The resulting solution was stirred overnight at 55° C. and allowed to cool to rt. The resulting mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and poured into water (100 mL). The solids were collected by filtration and washed with hexanes (2×20 mL) to obtain compound 50a as a gray solid. 1H-NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ (ppm): 7.54-7.51 (m, 2H), 7.35-7.28 (m, 2H), 5.18-5.16 (m, 1H), 3.793 (s, 3H), 3.51-3.49 (m, 1H).
