Add dropwise potassium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (0.77 mL, 0.385 mmol, 0.5N in toluene) and stir 25 min. Add slowly 2-chlorobenzylbromide (0.050 mL, 0.385 mmol) and stir at ambient temperature for 18 h. Quench with saturated ammonium chloride solution (0.5 mL) and dilute with a volume of dichloromethane and water (1 mL). Pass over a Varian Chem Elut column to remove aqueous portion and concentrate in vacuo. Alternatively, workup with ethyl acetate/water and dry over MgSO4. Purify the resulting residue by flash chromatography, eluting with dichloromethane with a gradient up to 10% ethyl acetate/dichloromethane to obtain 99 mg (69%) of a white solid.
