Reaktionsschritte

To an ice-cold, stirred solution of methyl 3-(hydroxymethyl)-5-methylbenzoate (200 mg, 1.1 mmol) in methylene chloride (2.2 mL) is added triethylamine (0.304 mL, 2.2 mmol) followed by methanesulfonyl chloride (0.116 mL, 1.5 mmol). The reaction mixture is stirred for 15 min and filtered. N-Methylpentylamine (333 mg, 3.3 mmol) is added to the filtrate, and the reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 5 h. The reaction mixture is diluted with methylene chloride (10 mL), washed with 1 N hydrochloric acid, and saturated sodium bicarbonate, dried (magnesium sulfate), filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification by flash column chromatography (silica, 15% ethyl acetate/hexanes) provides the title compound. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.75 (d, J=4 Hz, 2H), 7.36 (s, 1H), 3.90 (s, 3H), 3.47 (s, 2H), 3.13 (t, J=9 Hz, 3H), 2.39 (s, 2H), 2.34 (d, J=8 Hz, 2H), 2.18 (s, 3H), 1.45 (m, 5H), 1.32 (m, 2H).
