Procedure

Sodium hydride (0.428 g, 17.8 mmol) was added slowly to a NaCl ice bath containing EtOH (5.4 mL, 3.3 M) stirring under N2. 2,2-dimethylcyclopentanone (2.00 g, 17.83 mmol) and diethyloxalate (2.42 mL, 17.8 mmol) were mixed together, and then added to the chilled NaOEt solution. After stirring for 15 minutes, the reaction was warmed to room temperature and stirred for 6 hours, at which point the reaction was judged complete by TLC. The reaction was quenched at 0° C. with 1N HCl and extracted 2× with CH2Cl2. The combined organics were washed with H2O, dried with Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated to yield 3.4084 g (90.0%) of crude 2 that was sufficiently pure by NMR to go on to the next step without further purification. Note: NaOEt purchased from Aldrich may be substituted for the NaOEt synthesized in situ. 1H (CDCl3, 400 MHz): δ 4.29 (2H, q, J=7.3 Hz), 2.82 (2H, t, J=7.3 Hz), 1.76 (2H, t, J=7.3 Hz), 1.32 (3H, t, J=7.3 Hz), 1.07 (6H, s) ppm. 13C (CDCl3, 100 MHz): δ 218, 162.89, 153.15, 115.98, 62.12, 46.16, 36.39, 23.98, 23.87, 14.22 ppm.
