Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2,2-dimethyl-3-hydroxypropionic acid ethyl ester (1.3 g, 10.0 mmol) in CH3CN (30 mL) was added Ag2O (11.5 g, 50.0 mmol) and methyl iodide (0.56 mL, 11 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at rt for 12 h and quenched with a saturated aqueous NH4Cl. The mixture was filtered though Celite, the filtrate concentrated in vacuo, and the residue was purified by column chromatography (EtOAc/Hex=1/10) to give the title compound (1.34 g, 91.2%).
