The diester 2 was prepared by the addition of tert-butanol to 1 according to the reported procedure [1].
tert-Butanol (0.2 ml) was added to a solution of 1 (293 mg, 1 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (5 ml). The mixture was left at r.t. for 3 h. Evaporation of the solvent under reduced pressure afforded the title compound 2, a colourless oil: 340 mg (100 %).
