Reaction Steps

The commercially available alpha-benzylsuccinic acid 9 (1 g, 4.8 mmol) was refluxed for 1 h in 30 mL trifluoroacetic anhydride. Afterwards, the solvent was removed in vacuo. The crude residue was washed with cold hexane to yield alpha-benzylsuccinic anhydride 10 as a white solid (858.2 mg, 93.95%).
