Procedure
A mixture of 4-(1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]dec-7-en-8-yl)benzoic acid (572 mg, 2.20 mmol), iodomethane (140 μL, 2.24 mmol), and cesium carbonate (710 mg, 2.17 mmol) in 6 mL of DMF was stirred at rt for 16 h. The mixture was diluted with H2O (10 mL) and extracted with Et2O (100 mL). The organic layer was separated, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated. Chromatography on a Biotage 40S cartridge using 3:17 v/v EtOAc/hexanes as the eluant afforded 399 mg (72%) of the title compound.
