Participants

Reaction Steps

The preparation of the ethyl ester was carried out using N-(3,5-Dimethyl-phenyl)-2-hydroxy-2-(4-hydroxy-phenyl)acetamide (4.0 g, 14.8 mmol), ethyl 2-bromoisobutyrate (19.2 g, 19.2 mmol), potassium carbonate (3.0 g, 22.1 mmol) in dimethylformamide (30 mL) to yield 2.9 g after column chromatography purification. Hydrolysis of the ester was carried out with (1.0 g, mmol) in ethanol (40 mL) and lithium hydroxide (1.05 g, 25 mmol) dissolved in water (20 mL). Purification by column chromatography gave 900 mg. m.p.
