Reaction Steps

Methyl dichloroacetate (1.57 g, 11 mmol) was dissolved ether (25 mL). To the stirred solution was added 25% sodium methoxide (2.38 g, 11 mmol) followed by 3′-fluoro-4′-methoxyacetophenone from Step 1 (1.68 g, 10 mmol). After stirring 16 hours 1N HCl (25 mL) was added. The organic layer was collected and washed with water (2×25 mL), dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated. The resulting crude dione was used in the next step without further purification or characterization.
