Reaction Steps

To a solution of LiHMDS in THF cooled to −78° C. was added a cooled solution (−78° C.) of methyl 2-(4-((triisopropylsilyloxy)methyl)phenyl)acetate (E133) in THF via syringe. The solution was stirred at −78° C. for 30 min. Bromo-methyl phthalimide was added directly to the anion and the solution stirred for 2 h at −78° C. The reaction was then poured into NH4Cl(sat) and extracted with EtOAc. The organics were dried (MgSO4), filtered, and evaporated. Column chromatography (SiO2, 0-20% EtOAc/Hexanes) gave pure methyl 3-(1,3-dioxoisoindolin-2-yl)-2-(4-((triisopropylsilyloxy) methyl)phenyl)propanoate (E134).
