Reaction Steps

The title compound was prepared as described in General Method 1 using 1.7 mL of methyl acetoacetate, 630 mg of NaH 60% dispersion in oil, 9.85 mL of 1.6M n-butyl lithium in hexane, 4.0 g of 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)propiophenone and 150 mL of tetrahydrofuran. After addition of the ketone, the reaction was stirred for 15 minutes at 0° C. then allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred for 4 hours. The crude product was triturated from diethyl ether to afford a solid (m.p. 145°-147° C.). 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 2.18-2.35 (m, 2 H), 2.39-2.50 (m, 1 H), 2.68-2.80 (m, 1 H), 2.96 (dd, 2 H), 3.36 (dd, 2 H), 6.90-7.50 (m, 8 H).
