Procedure

To a solution of methyl 5-[methoxy(methyl)amino]-2,2-dimethyl-5-oxopentanoate from Step C (4.68 g, 21.6 mmol) in THF (46.8 mL), cooled to 0° C., was added 3,5-difluorophenyl magnesium bromide (65 mL, 0.5 M in THF, 32.3 mmol) over 30 minutes. The reaction was allowed to stir at ambient temperature for 2 h, after which time no additional reaction progress was observed. Additional 3,5-difluorophenyl magnesium bromide (50 mL, 0.5 M in THF, 25.0 mmol) was added over 30 minutes. After 3 h at 0° C., the reaction was quenched by the rapid addition of a cold (0° C.) solution of EtOH (71 mL) and conc. HCl (5.0 mL). The reaction was then diluted with water (200 mL) and diethyl ether (400 mL). The organics were washed with water (200 mL×3) and brine (100 mL), then dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to give a residue. This residue was purified by silica gel chromatography, eluting with a gradient of CH2Cl2:hexanes-50:50 to 100:0, to give the title compound. MS: m/z=239 (M−31(MeO−)).
