The ice bath was removed and the reaction mixture was stirred at rt overnight. The mixture was again chilled in an ice/water bath, and then quenched with 1 M aqueous hydrochloric acid. Water (70 mL) was added and the layers were separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×50 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (Biotage apparatus, 17:83 ethyl acetate/hexane) to give 4-(4-bromophenyl)-2,2-dimethyl-4-oxobutanoic acid as a white solid (8.34 g, 63%). LC-MS: ret. time 2.79 min; m/z 284.8 (MH+); 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 1.36 (s, 6H), 3.27 (s, 2H), 7.60 (d, 2H), 7.81 (d, 2H).
