Reaction Steps

The title compound was prepared as described for 6-bromo-2,3-dimethylhexanoic acid from isobutyric acid (9.67 g, 109.8 mmol), and 1,3-dichloropropane (37.2 g, 329.2 mmol). The product was purified by flash chromatography (CHCl3) to provide the acid (0.9 g, 5%) as a oil, HRMS (M+Li)+ calcd for C7H13O2ClLi 171.0764, found 171.0766.
