Reaction Steps

Following the method of Rudenko et al*, anisole was alkylated with ethyl 4-(4-chlorophenyl)-2,2-dimethylbut-3-enoate. Hydrolysis of the ester with potassium hydroxide gave 4-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2,2-dimethylbutanoic acid, purified by washing with sodium bicarbonate solution and water. Recrystallization from ethyl acetate-light petrol (b.p. 60°-80°) afforded the acid as white prisms, m.p. 139°-142° (63%).
