Reaction Steps

The 3-oxo-3-(3-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-propionic acid was prepared from 3-trifluoromethylbenzoyl chloride (10 mL, 67.6 mmol) and bis(trimethylsilyl)malonate (18.2 mL, 71 mmol) with Et3N (20 mL, 142 mmol) and LiBr (6.46 g, 74.4 mmol) in CH3CN at 0° C. according to general procedure H (method c1). The crude material (7.0 g of the obtained 15.4 g) was transformed into the title compound by stirring in isopropenyl acetate and conc. H2SO4 according to general procedure J (method a). Obtained as a light yellow solid (5.3 g).
