After stirring for 10 minutes at −60° C., tert-Butyl bromoacetate (6.99 g, 35.8 mmol) was added rapidly. The reaction mixture was stirred for an additional 10 minutes and then warmed to room temperature for 4 hours. The crude mixture was taken in EtOAc and washed with water and brine. The aqueous layer was extracted one more time with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4, filtered, concentrated and purified by flash chromatography on a silica gel column (hex:ethyl acetate, 2:1) to provide the title compound.
