To a solution of (R)—N-(1-hydroxy-4-methylpentan-2-yl)-3,4-dimethylbenzamide (Example 71a) (0.24 mmol) dissolved in dry DMF (2 mL) was added at 0° C. powdered NaOH (0.36 mmol, 14.5 mg, 1.5 eq) and the mixture was stirred for 1 hr at 0° C. Then chloro-methoxy-methane (19.3 μl, 1 eq) was added and the reaction stirred at 0° C. for 1 hour. The reaction was quenched with water (30 mL) and the mixture was extracted with dichloromethane. The organic phase was dried over MgSO4 and evaporated. The crude product was purified by preparative TLC (20% ethyl acetate/hexanes) to give 37.7 mg of (R)—N-(1-(methoxymethoxy)-4-methylpentan-2-yl)-3,4-dimethylbenzamide (53%). 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3): δ 0.98-1.00 (t, 6H), 1.49-1.53 (m, 1H), 1.58-1.64 (m, 1H), 1.69-1.73 (m, 2H), 2.32-2.33 (d, 6H), 3.38-3.39 (t, 3H), 3.64-3.72 (ddd, 2H), 4.41-4.44 (m, 1H), 4.65-4.69 (dd, 2H), 6.37-6.39 (d, 1H), 7.19-7.21 (d, 1H), 7.50-7.52 (dd, 1H), 7.60 (sb, 1H).
