Procedure

Methyl magnesium chloride (0.132 ml of a 22% w/w solution in tetrahydrofuran) was added to a solution of (±)-3-(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)cyclohexanone (20 mg) in tetrahydrofuran (3 ml) at 0° C. under argon. After 16 hr, dilute hydrochloric acid (1 ml) was added dropwise and the reaction mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate (50 ml) and brine (50 ml). The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×50 ml), and the combined organic extracts were dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated in vacuo. The crude residue was purified by preparative HPLC to furnish the title compound as a white solid (6 mg, 28%). δH (d4-MeOH) 1.20 (3H, s), 1.22-1.39 (2H, overlapping m), 1.46 (1H, t), 1.54-1.87 (5H, overlapping m), 3.22 (1H, m), 6.19-6.25 (2H, overlapping m), 6.86 91H, d); m/z (ES−) 281 (M+60−H)−.
