Procedure

To a stirred solution of 1-cyclobutyl-2-(4-cyclohexyloxy-phenyl)-ethanone (3.60 mmol, 0.98 g) and triethylamine (3.60 mmol, 0.51 mL) in THF (2.0 mL) was added a solution of ethyl glyoxylate (50% in toluene, 18.0 mmol, 3.82 mL) and continued stirring for 12 h at room temperature. After removal of volatiles under reduced pressure, the crude product was pre-absorbed onto 10 g SiO2 followed by purification on a 24 g SiO2 cartridge using a 0-30% ethyl acetate/hexanes gradient to give 4-cyclobutyl-3-(4-cyclohexyloxy-phenyl)-2-hydroxy-4-oxo-butyric acid ethyl ester (0.42 g).
