A suspension of copper (I) chloride (129 mg, 1.31 mmol) and tert-butyl nitrite (155 μL, 1.31 mmol) in anhydrous MeCN (2 mL) was stirred at 65° C. A solution of methyl 4-amino-3,5-diisopropoxybenzoate (4) (233 mg, 0.872 mmol) in anhydrous MeCN (1 mL) was added dropwise. Once the addition was complete the mixture was allowed to cool to RT and poured on to 20% HCl (5 mL). The mixture was partitioned between DCM (10 mL) and aq. ammonia (35%, 5 mL), the phases were separated and the organic solution was further washed with ammonia solution (17.5%, 10 mL), and brine (2×20 mL). The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (40 g, 0-100% EtOAc in isohexane) to afford methyl 4-chloro-3,5-diisopropoxybenzoate (93 mg, 36% yield) as a colourless oil: m/z 287 [M+H]+ (ES+).
