Reaction Steps

tert-Butylbenzene 10e (99%, 4.3 eq) was reacted with succinic anhydride (99%, 1 eq) and AlCl3 (95%, 2 eq) for 120 h according to the general procedure. Extractive purification of the crude product afforded white crystals of 11e in 68% yield. 1H-NMR: 7.93 (d, 2H Ar--H); 7.48 (d, 2H, Ar--H); 3.30 (t, 2H, CH2CH2COOH); 2.81 (t, 2H, CH2CH2COOH); 1.34 (s, 9H, CH3).
