NaHMDS (0.926 mL, 0.926 mmol) was added dropwise. The resulting yellow suspension was stirred under nitrogen at room temperature for 3.5 h. LCMS showed complete conversion. The reaction was quenched with saturated sodium bicarbonate and diluted with ethyl acetate. The layers were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (LCMS showed no product left in the aqueous phase). The combined organic layers were washed with water, brine, dried with sodium sulfate, and concentrated to give a yellow oil. Purification by FCC up to 10% methanol/methylene chloride afforded the desired product (131 mg, 100%) as a white powder. LCMS and HPLC showed >99% purity.
