Reaction Steps

Into methylene chloride (40 mL) was dissolved 4-isopropyl-2-methoxymethoxy-benzoic acid (6.0 g, 26.8 mmol). Methanol (10 mL) was added, followed by the dropwise addition of 2 M hexane solution of trimethylsilyldiazomethane (14.7 mL). After 2 h, HOAc (0.5 mL) was added and the solvent was removed under vacuum, giving the title compound as an oil, which was used in next step without further purification.
