Reaction Steps

The tert-butyl[3-(2,2-dimethyl-4,6-dioxo-1,3-dioxan-5-yl)-2-methyl-3-oxopropyl]carbamate from Step 1 (5.19 g, 15.76 mmol) was dissolved in ethyl acetate (60.6 ml), heated to reflux (77° C.) and stirred for 3 hrs, then cooled to room temperature. The solvent was evaporated under vacuum to afford the title compound as a yellow solid: 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) 4.29 (dd, J=14.0, 5.0 Hz, 1H), 3.53 (m, 3H), 2.59 (m, 114), 1.56 (s, 9H), 1.20 (d, J=7.1 Hz, 3H).
