Reaction Steps

A solution of the ester from Step 1 (0.5 g, 1.17 mmole) in acetic acid was stirred at 10° C. The pre-prepared solution of Cl2 (gas) in acetic acid (10 mL, 4.0 mmole was added to the above solution. The mixture was stirred for 2 hour. After Cl2 (gas) was blown away, Zn powder (5 eq) was added to the mixture and stirred for 30 min. The Zn salts were removed by filtration and the filtrate was evaporated to dryness. The residue was purified by normal phase silica chromatography with 20% ethyl acetate in hexane to give the ester as a yellow oil, which solidified upon standing (0.43 g, 85%): LCMS m/z 431.75 (M+H). 1NMR (CDCl3/400 MHz) 7.61 (s, 1H), 7.27 (s, 1H), 6.95 (dd, 1H, J=8.4 Hz), 6.50 (dd, 1H, J=12, 2.4 Hz ), 6.42 (m, 1H), 5.61 (q, 1H, J=6.8 Hz), 4.30 (q, 2H, J=7.2 Hz), 1.33 (t, 3H, J=7.2 Hz).
