Procedure

Magnesium (5.2 g, 199 mmol) is suspended in anhydrous THF (60 mL) under nitrogen. A small crystal of iodine is added. 1-Bromo-2,2-dimethylpropane (25 g, 165 mmol) is dissolved in anhydrous THF (90 mL) and a portion of the solution is added to the magnesium. The mixture is heated to reflux temperature to initiate the reaction. The rest of the bromide solution is added dropwise. After the addition is complete the mixture is refluxed for 4 h. The Grignard reagent is allowed to cool to room temperature and added dropwise to a solution of methyl-4-formylbenzoate (15 g, 91.5 mmol) in THF which has been cooled in an ice bath. After the addition is complete the resulting solution is stirred at room temperature for 2 h. The reaction is quenched with MeOH, worked up and concentrated to give 8.07 g (37%) of the titled compound as a yellow oil. 1H NMR.
