Reaction Steps

To a solution of (2,4-Dihydroxy-phenyl)-oxo-acetic acid ethyl ester (from step 1, 2.71 g, 12.9 mmol, 1 eq) in anhydrous DCM (40 mL) solution was added triethylamine (1.97 mL, 14.2 mmol, 1.1 eq), followed by addition of tert-butyldimethylchlorosilane (1.89 g, 14.2 mmol, 1.1 eq)/DCM (10 mL) solution dropwise at 0° C. under argon. The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 5 min. Water (30 mL) was added to the reaction mixture to quench the reaction. The organic layer was washed with water (2×30 mL), dried over Na2SO4, filtrated, and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford a light yellow solid (4.1 g, contains 40% mono-substituted product) as crude product. This material was used in step 3 without further purification.
