MeI (38 µL, 0.62 mmol). Yield 65a (60 mg, 22%).<br />

Note: The intermediate carboxylic acid after the Claisen rearrangement step was purified by<br />

silica gel flash chromatography (hexanes-EtOAc, 4 : 1 to 1 : 1, v/v) and obtained in 41% yield.<br />

2-Benzyloxycarbonylamino-2-methylhexa-3,4-dienoic acid methyl ester (65c).<br />

Prepared by following general procedure D, using: LDA (7.15 mmol), 64c (820 mg, 2.98 mmol),<br />

ZnCl2 (7.1 mL <strong>of</strong> a 0.5 M solution in THF, 3.6 mmol), KHCO3 (752 mg, 7.45 mmol), MeI (460<br />

µL, 7.45 mmol). Purification by flash chromatography (hexanes-EtOAc, 9 : 1, v/v) afforded 65c<br />

(618 mg, 70%) as a 1 : 1 mixture <strong>of</strong> diastereomers.<br />

65c : 1 H NMR (300 MHz, C6D6): δ 7.21-7.02 (m, 5H), 5.39 (m, 2H), 5.09-4.98 (m, 3H), 3.32 (s,<br />
