Procedure

A mixture containing 4-methoxyphenyl hydrazine HCl (70.66 g, 0.405 mol) and methyl 5-(t-butylthio)-2,2-dimethyl-4-oxopentanoate (99.54 g 0.405 mol) in tBuOH (400 ml) was heated at a gentle reflux for 48 hours. The mixture was allowed to cool to RT and the precipitated NH4Cl was removed by filtration. The residue was concentrated and fractionated on a plug of silica using EtOAc/hexane (1:3) as eluent. Evaporation of the appropriate fraction gave an orange-brown solid which was crystallized from EtOH (100 ml). Yield from two crops afforded 55.6 g of the title compound.
