Procedure

Add AlCl3 (8.31 g, 62.3 mmol) to carbon tetrachloride (65 mL) under a nitrogen atmosphere at room temperature. Add 4-chlorobutyryl chloride (03.5 mL, 31.2 mmol), stir for 15 minutes and add, by dropwise addition over 15 minutes, a solution of 2-methyl-2-phenyl-propionic acid, pyrrolidineamide (5.64 g, -26.0 mmol) in carbon tetrachloride (60 mL). Stir at room temperature for 17 hours, pour into ice water (100 mL) and separate the layers. Wash the aqueous layer with methylene chloride (2×70 mL), 5% aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate, combine the organic layers and dry (Na2SO4). Filter, evaporate the filtrate in vacuo and purify by silica gel chromatography (5:2 hexane/ethyl acetate) to give the title compound (6.55 g, 78%) as a light yellow oil.
