Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6-(2-hydroxy-ethyl)-5-methoxy-4-methyl-7-(2-trimethylsilanyl-ethoxy)-3H-isobenzofuran-1-one (79 mg, 0.23 mmol) was heated with bromomethylphosphonic acid diisopropyl ester (120 mg, 0.46 mmol) in the presence of lithium t-butoxide (22 mg, 0.27 mmol) in DMF (2 mL) at 70° C. overnight. The reaction mixture was purified by reverse-phase HPLC to provide the desired product. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 0.00 (s, 9H), 1.13-1.25 (m, 2H), 1.26 (t, 12H, J=6 Hz), 2.12 (s, 3H), 2.98 (t, 2H, J=7 Hz), 3.60-3.73 (m, 4H), 3.77 (s, 3H), 4.05-4.16 (m, 2H), 4.62-4.74 (m, 2H), 5.07 (s, 2H); MS (m/z) 539 [M+Na]+.
