MeLi (1.4M in ether, 2 ml) is added dropwise to a stirred suspension of CuI (268 mg, 1.40 mmol) in Et2O at 0° C. The reaction mixture is kept at 0° C. for 15 min. 4-oxo-7,8-dihydro-4H-cyclohepta[b]pyrrole-1,3-dicarboxylic acid 1-tert-butyl ester 3-ethyl ester (300 mg, 0.94 mmol) in THF is added slowly to the solution at 0° C., the reaction mixture is allowed to warm up to room temperature over a period of 30 min and then quenched with saturated NH4Cl(aq., 30 ml). 50 ml Et2O is added and stirring is continued for 5 min. The layers are separated; the organic layer is washed with water (20 ml), dried (Na2SO4), and evaporated. Flash chromatography (30% EtOAc/hexanes) provides the title compound as white powder. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 1.02 (3H, d), 1.28 (3H, t), 1.56 (9H+1H, s+m), 1.92 (1H, m), 2.15 (1H, m), 2.48 (1H, q), 2.80 (1H, q), 3.15-3.25 (2H, m), 4.24 (2H, q), 7.57 (1H, s).
