The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 20 min, poured into 40 mL of water and extracted with 50 mL of methylene chloride. The extracts were dried over sodium sulfate, concentrated, and the residual solid purified by column chromatography (silica gel/ethyl acetate:hexanes 1:9) to afford 4.25 g (80%) of the product as a yellow oil. Since this material slowly decomposes at room temperature, it was used immediately for the next reaction: IR (neat) 3028, 2930, 1648, 1555, 1524, 1497, 1454, 1351, 1176, 953, 931, 750, 700 cm-1 ; 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 2.63 (2H, q, J=7.0 Hz), 2.87 (2H, t, J=8.0 Hz), 7.00 (1H, dt, J=13.5 Hz), 7.21 (2H, d, J=7.5 Hz), 7.26-7.35 (4H, m); 13C NMR (CDCl3) 5 141.55,140.18, 139.74, 128.90, 128.46, 126.81, 34.19, 30.29; EIMS m/z 177 (M+) 60, 143, 133, 130, 115, 103, 91, 77; HRMS calc'd for C10H11NO2 177.0790, found 177.0802.
