Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2.5 g of (E)-6-(4-amino-1,3-dihydro-6-ethyl-7-methyl-3-oxoisobenzofuran-5-yl)-4-methyl-4-hexenoic acid in 50 ml (1.234 mol) of methanol is added 0.125 g of p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate. The solution is stirred at room temperature for 2 days and then concentrated to a small volume, and the residue partitioned between water and ethyl acetate. The organic layer is dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated to give methyl (E)-6-(4-amino-1,3-dihydro-6-ethyl-7-methyl-3-oxoisobenzofuran-5-yl)-4-methyl-4-hexenoate.
