Reaction Steps

A solution of rac-(cyclohex-2-enyloxy)-(3,4-dichloro-phenyl)-acetic acid (Example 3; 409 mg, 1.36 mmol) in dichloromethane (10 mL) and N,N-dimethylformamide (one drop) cooled to 0° C. was treated with oxalyl chloride (2.0 M solution in dichloromethane, 0.95 mL, 1.90 mmol). The reaction was stirred at 0° C. for 1 h, then 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexamethyldisilazane (1.0 mL, 4.75 mmol) was added and the resulting cloudy mixture was stirred at 25° C. for 16 h. The reaction was quenched with methanol (10 mL), washed with an aqueous solution of 5% sulfuric acid (2×15 mL) and extracted with dichloromethane (3×10 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine (1×10 mL), dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The reaction product was purified by flash chromatography (Merck Silica gel 60, 230-400 mesh, 70/30 hexanes/ethyl acetate) to give rac-2-(cyclohex-2-enyloxy)-2-(3,4-dichloro-phenyl)-acetamide (311 mg, 76% yield) as a white solid: 103.6-108.9° C.; EI-HRMS m/e calcd for C14H15NCl2O2(M+) 299.0479, found 299.0492.
