Procedure
To a stirred suspension of Pd(PPh3)2Cl2 (0.86 g, 1.22 mmol) and zinc powder (3.19 g, 48.8 mmol) in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME, 100 mL) at room temperature was slowly added a solution of 3-methoxybenzyl bromide (5.0 g, 24.4 mmol) and isobutyryl chloride in DME (25 mL). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. Water was added, and the mixture was extracted with ether. The combined ether extract was washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated to give the crude product as a brown oil. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography over SiO2 with hexanes:EtOAc (20:1) to give 3.03 g (64) of compound (§4 as a colorless oil. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 1.09 (d, J=7.0 Hz, 6H), 2.70-2.75 (m, 1H), 3.70 (s, 2H), 3.79 (s, 3H), 6.70-6.85 (m, 3H), 7.23 (t, J=8.0 Hz, 1H).
