Reaction Steps

6-Oxo-6-(N,O-dimethylhydroxylamino)-N-(4-methoxyphenyl) hexanamide (454 mg) was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (13 mL) and cooled to -78° C. Benzylmagnesium chloride in tetrahydrofuran (2.0M, 1.6 mL) was added and reaction was warmed to 20° C. After 24 hours, additional benzylmagnesium chloride in tetrahydrofuran (2.0M, 0.4 mL) was added. After 24 hours, 1.0M aqueous hydrochloric acid (10 mL) was added and reaction extracted using dichloromethane (2×15 mL). The combined organic extracts were dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting solid was chromatographed eluting with 30:70 ethyl acetate:hexanes to afford the title compound (Rf of 0.68 in 70:30 ethyl acetate:hexanes) as white crystals (200 mg).
