Reaction Steps

Ethyl 2-bromo-2-methylpropanoate (0.6800 g, 3.4861 mmol) was taken up in pyrrolidine (4 mL) and heated to 70° C. The reaction was stirred for 18 h and then concentrated. The residue was taken up in EtOAc (100 mL) and washed with water (1×100 mL), dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated to afford 0.4754 g (2.5697 mmol, 74%) of the product. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 4.16 (q, 2H, J=7.1 Hz), 2.76 (bs, 4H), 1.76 (bs, 4H), 1.36 (s, 6H), 1.27 (t, 2H, J=7.1 Hz).
