Procedure

N,N-Bis-(4-fluoro-benzyl)-acetamide (15.0 grams, 54.5 mmol) and dimethyloxalate (9.6 grams, 81.3 mmol) were dissolved in 54 mL of THF. After cooling to 0° C. 108 mL of 1N LiHMDS (THF) was added dropwise. The reaction mixture was stirred 1 hr then quenched with 1N HCl. The resulting mixture was extracted with CH2Cl2, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and the solvent removed under vacuum. The product was purified by flash column chromatography (SiO2, 80:20 hexanes/EtOAc) to yield 10 grams (53% yield) of 3-[bis-(4-fluoro-benzyl)-carbamoyl]-2-hydroxy-acrylic acid methyl ester as a solid. Mp=118–120° C.
