Reaction Steps

Hydrobromic acid (20 ml of 62%w/v solution in water) was added to methyl 2-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)-2-hydroxyacetate (from step (b), 11 g, 52 mmol) in toluene (200 ml). After stirring for 3 hours the aqueous layer was removed and the organic layer was evaporated in vacuo. The residue was flash chromatographed, eluting with dichloromethane, and then crystallised with diisopropylether and hexane.
