was raised to RT in 10 min. Then, a solution of 1-(benzotriazol-1yl)-2-(4-isobutylphenyl)propan-1-one<br />

(204 mg, 0.66 mmol) in dry<br />

DMSO (3.5 mL, 5 mL/mmol) was added dropwise to the reaction<br />

mixture. After 4 h of stirring at RT, the mixture was poured into<br />

water (15 mL, 4 5 mL/mmol), acidified with acetic acid 10% <strong>and</strong><br />

extracted with ethyl acetate (3 15 mL). Organic layers were<br />

combined, washed with brine (3 40 mL), dried over MgSO4,<br />

filtered <strong>and</strong> concentrated under vacuum. After purification by flash<br />

chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate 10:1), 122 mg (69%) of<br />

a yellow oil were obtained.<br />

To a stirred solution of SnCl2.H2O (230 mg, 1.21 mmol), PhSH<br />

(370 mL, 3.59 mmol) <strong>and</strong> NEt3 (510 mL, 3.61 mmol) in acetonitrile<br />

(4 mL) was added a solution of 3-(4-isobutylphenyl)-1-nitrobutan-<br />

2-one (200 mg, 0.80 mmol) in 1 mL of acetonitrile. After 1 h the<br />

solvent was removed under reduced pressure, water (10 mL) was<br />

NaHCO3 (sat.), brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered <strong>and</strong> concentrated<br />

under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash chromatography<br />

(hexane/ethyl acetate 10:1); 75 mg (40%) of yellow oil<br />

were obtained.<br />

4.2.10. 2-(4-Isobutyl-phenyl)-propionyl chloride (8a)<br />

To a suspension of <strong>ibuprofen</strong> sodium salt (1.47 g, 6.4 mmol) in<br />

dry diethyl ether (20 mL) was added dropwise oxalyl chloride<br />

(605 mL, 7.05 mmol) at 0 C under Ar atmosphere <strong>and</strong> the mixture<br />

was stirred for 4 h. The mixture was filtered, concentrated under<br />

vacuum, diluted with hexane, filtered again <strong>and</strong> evaporated under<br />

To a solution of 2-(4-isobutyl-phenyl)-propionyl chloride (1.32 g,<br />

5.87 mmol) in diethyl ether (50 mL) at 0 C was added dropwise<br />

a diethyl ether solution of diazomethane (see Arndt, F. Organic<br />

Synthesis Coll.1943, 2,165) until acyl chloride was perfectly consumed<br />

(disappearance of the yellow colour of CH2N2 solution). After<br />

removing the solvent under vacuum, acetic acid (6 mL) was added.<br />

The solution was cooled to 0 C <strong>and</strong> aqueous HBr (47%, 1.3 mL) was<br />

added dropwise slowly. The mixture was allowed to warm to RT <strong>and</strong><br />

was stirred for 1 h. Then the solution was poured into cold water<br />

(10 mL), neutralized with Na2CO3 to pH 7. The solution was extracted<br />

extracted with ethyl acetate (3 30 mL), the combined organic<br />

layers were washed with water, brine then dried over MgSO4,<br />

filtered <strong>and</strong> concentrated under vacuum to obtain 818 mg of<br />
