The ice bath was removed and the solution was stirred for 2 hours at room temperature. Methyl iodide (0.959 mmol, 0.060 mL, Aldrich) was added dropwise via syringe and the solution was stirred for 20 hours. Water (10 mL) was added and the mixture was stirred for 30 minutes. The resulting precipitate was filtered off, the filtrate was extracted with ether (3×10 mL), and the extracts were washed with water (2×10 mL), brine (1×10 mL), dried over MgSO4, and concentrated. The residue was combined with the solid and purified by silica gel flash column chromatography (30% ethyl acetate/hexanes) to give a white solid (0.216 g, 69%): 1HNMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 2.67 (s, 3H, ArCH3), 3.66 (s, 3H, NCH3), 3.87-3.89 (m, 2H, CH2Cl), 4.09-4.12 (m, 2H, CH2OAr), 5.29 (s, 2H, CO2CH2Ph), 6.80-6.83 (m, 1H, ArH), 7.21-7.50 (m, 7H, ArH); MS(APCI+): m/z 358.0 (M+1).
