Reaction Steps

A solution of methyl (E)-6-(1,3-dihydro-6-ethyl-4-hydroxy-7-methyl-3-oxoisobenzofuran-5-yl)-4-methyl-4-hexenoate (8.61 g) and imidazole (3.5 g) in dimethyl formamide (40 ml) was treated with t-butyldimethylsilyl chloride (4.50 g) and stirred at 25° C. for 14 hours. The reaction mixture was then poured into ice water and extracted with ether. Drying over magnesium sulfate and evaporation gave methyl (E)-6-(4-t-butyldimethylsilyloxy-1,3-dihydro-6-ethyl-7-methyl-3-oxoisobenzofuran-5-yl)-4-methyl-4-hexenoate.
