Reaction Steps

Ethyl 4-(2-methoxyethoxy)-3-oxobutanoate (Intermediate 123) (0.5 g) was dissolved in anhydrous DCM (5 ml). Sulfuryl chloride (430 mg) was added dropwise at room temperature. The mixture was stirred for 6 h. The crude mixture was diluted with EtOAc (50 ml) and washed well with water and brine, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to afford the title compound as a light orange oil (414 mg).
