Procedure

To a stirred suspension of zinc dust (103 g, 1568 mmol) in HOAc (200 ml) was added a solution of 2,2-dichloro-3-oxocyclobutyl pivalate (75 g, 314 mmol) in HOAc (400 ml) dropwise in an ice bath. The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 h, filtered the solid through celite and washed with DCM. The DCM layer was washed with H2O, NaHCO3, brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The crude material was purified by ISCO (10% EtOAc/Hexanes) to give the title compound as a light yellow oil.
