Procedure

Thionyl bromide (3.7 ml) was added to a stirred solution of methyl 2-(6-chloro-1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)-2-hydroxyacetate from step (a) (7.8 g, 32 mmol) in toluene (50 ml) at ambient temperature. After 6 hours the reaction mixture was evaporated in vacuo, and the residue was flash chromatographed using dichloromethane as eluant, followed by crystallisation from diisopropylether to give the subtitle compound (7.6 g).
