Reaction Steps

A solution of benzamide (0.606 g, 5.00 mmoles) and methyl 4-bromo-3-oxopentanoate (1.05 g, 5.00 mmoles, example 31) are heated in toluene (6 ml) to 120° C. for 18 hours. The reaction is then purified by column chromatography (silica, 4:1 hex: EtOAc) to give the title compound as a clear oil. MS (APcI) 232 (M+H)+.
