Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-methyl-2-(4-nitrophenyl)-propionic acid (1.0014 g, 4.76 mmol) in 10% MeOH/benzene (20 mL) was added dropwise (trimethylsilyl)-diazomethane (2.0 M in hexanes, 3.5 mL, 7.0 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at rt until evolution of N2 ceased (<5 min) and then concentrated. The crude residue was purified (FCC) to give the title compound (937.6 mg, 88%).
