Reaction Steps

To a solution of acetoxy-2,2-dimethyl-propionic acid (example 40, step 1) (2.2 g, 13.75 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (25 ml), were added oxalyl chloride (2.62 ml, 27.50 mmol) and 2-4 drops of DMF and stirred at 25° C. for 3 hours. The solvent was evaporated and the resulting acetic acid 2-chlorocarbonyl-2-methyl-propyl ester (2.4 g) was used directly in next step without purification.
