The solution cooled to −78° C. Pentane-2,4-dione (7.13 mL, 69.4 mmol) was added dropwise and the solution stirred 30 minutes at −78° C. 4-nitrobenzyl bromide (15.0 g, 69.4 mmol) was added in one portion. The solution was removed from the dry-ice/acetone bath, allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred 16 hours. The solution was cooled to approximately 0° C. and the reaction quenched with 1M HCl. Tetrahydrofuran was removed under reduced pressure. The crude material was taken up into dichloromethane and washed with 1M HCl and brine. The aqueous layers were again washed with dichloromethane. The combined dichloromethane layers were dried (Na2SO4) and removed under reduced pressure. Gradient flash column chromatography (FCC) was performed using 5% to 15% ethyl acetate/hexanes to afford title compound (8.5 g, 52%; yellow solid). 1H NMR (CDCl3): 8.14 (d, J=9.0 Hz, 2 H), ˜d, J=8.4 Hz, 2 H), 5.45 (s, 1 H), 3.06 (t, J=7.5 Hz, 2 H), 2.64 (t, J=7.8 Hz, 2 H), 2.04 (s, 3 H).
