Reaction Steps

A suspension of 1-benzyl 4-tert-butyl 2-(4-bromophenyl)succinate (2.00 g, 4.77 mmol) and silica gel (23.8 g) in toluene (100 mL) was heated at reflux for 3 h. The crude mixture was cooled to room temperature and filtered. The filter cake was washed with dichloromethane/methanol (8:2; 2×100 mL) then the organic filtrates were combined and evaporated to dryness to give the title compound as a white solid (1.53 g, 88%). LC/MS: 3.43 min; z/e 361 and 363, calcd (M−1) 361 and 363. 1H NMR (400 MHz: DMSO-d6): 7.55 (2H), 7.30 (7H), 5.10 (2H), 4.05 (1H), 3.05 (1H), 2.65 (1H).
