Procedure

Under an argon atmosphere, to a solution of ethyl diethoxyacetate (1.80 mL, 10.1 mmol) in THF (20 mL) was added slowly a THF solution of (72) prepared above at −78° C. After stirring at −78° C. for an hour, to this was added 20% aqueous solution of ammonium chloride (10 mL) and the product was extracted with ethyl acetate (×3). The organic layer was sequentially washed with water (×1) and saturated brine (×1), and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. After filtration, the mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by silica gel flash column chromatography (n-hexane/ethyl acetate=9/1) to give 1,1-diethoxy-3-(3-methylphenyl)propan-2-one (73) as a colorless oily substance (1.38 g, 5.84 mmol, 58.0%).
