Mode opératoire

Potassium t-butoxide (6.72 g) was suspended in 30 ml of anhydrous ether and cooled to 0° C. A solution of 14.35 g of ethyl 3-(2-bromo-5-methoxyphenyl-propionate and 10.95 g diethyl oxalate in 10 ml ether was added dropwise over 15 min. After 2 at 25° C., the reaction was poured into 100 ml H2O and the aqueous layer was separated, acidified to pH 1 and extracted with ether. The ether layer was dried (MgSO4) and the solvent was evaporated to yield 17.48 g of the desired product as a colorless oil (90%).
