Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: Following general procedure A, methyl hydrogen fumarate (0.39 g, 3.0 mmol) in NMP (8 mL) was reacted with CsHCO3 (0.69 g, 3.6 mmol) and ethyl (chloroethoxy)formate (0.64 g, 4.2 mmol) to afford 0.63 g (85% yield) of the title compound (39) after isolation and purification. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz): δ 6.89 (d, J=15.6 Hz, 1H), 6.82 (d, J=15.6 Hz, 1H), 6.84 (q, J=5.6 Hz, 1H), 4.23 (q, J=7.2 Hz, 3H), 3.81 (s, 3H), 1.58 (d, J=5.6 Hz, 3H), 1.32 (t, J=7.2 Hz, 3H). MS (ESI): m/z 247.01 (M+H)+.

Procedure: Potassium tert. butoxide (3.70 g, 0.033 mol ) was added to a solution of methacrylic acid (2.84 g, 0.033 mol) in DMF (100 ml). Ethyl chloroethyl carbonate (5.08 g, 0.033 mol) from Example 1q(i) above was added to the resulting suspension. 18-crown-6 (0.61 g, 2.3 mmol) was then added and the reaction mixture was left with stirring at room temperature for 3 days. The reaction mixture was filtered and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in chloroform (100 ml) and washed with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate (50 ml) and water (50 ml). The organic phase was dried (MgSO4) and the solvent removed under reduced pressure. Flash chromatography gave 2.50 g (38%) of the title product. (Adjusted for recovered starting material the yield was 75%). the reaction mixture was left The reaction mixture was filtered the solvent was removed under reduced pressure The residue was dissolved in chloroform (100 ml) washed with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate (50 ml) and water (50 ml) The organic phase was dried (MgSO4) the solvent removed under reduced pressure

Procedure: To a solution of chloroethyl chloroformate (23.16 g, 0.162 mol) and ethanol (7.45 g, 0.162 mol) in methylene chloride (200 ml), pyridine (12.82 g, 0.162 mol) was added at 0° C. After 10 min at 0° C. and 21 hours at 25° C. the reaction mixture was washed with aqueous hydrochloric acid (100 ml), aqueous saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate (100 ml) and water (100 ml). The solvent was removed under reduced pressure after drying (MgSO4), giving 18.5 g (74%) of the intermediate ethyl chloroethyl carbonate as a crude product. 21 hours at 25° C. the reaction mixture was washed with aqueous hydrochloric acid (100 ml), aqueous saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate (100 ml) and water (100 ml) The solvent was removed under reduced pressure after drying (MgSO4)
