Procedure

A solution of n-butyllithium in hexane (12.8 mL of 2.5 M, 32 mmol) is added with stirring to t-butanol (46 mL) at 25° C. under an argon atmosphere. After 30 min the mixture is treated dropwise with a solution of 3-bromo-5-nitro-benzoyl chloride (J. Mindl, Collect. Czech. Chem. Commun. (1973), 38, 3496–505; 32 mmol) in dry THF (40 mL) and stirred for a further 17 h. The mixture is then treated with ether (250 mL) and washed with brine. The ether solution was dried (MgSO4) and the solvent is evaporated off under reduced pressure to give the crude product which is purified by column chromatography (silica gel, eluent 20% ethyl acetate in hexane) and recrystallised from ether-hexane to afford the title compound as colourless crystalline solid, m.p. 77–78° C.
