Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of 2,4-dihydroxy-3-methylbenzaldehyde (1.00 g, 6.57 mmol) in DMF (20 mL) were added potassium carbonate (1.36 g, 9.86 mmol) and 1-(chloromethyl)-4-ethoxybenzene (1.23 g, 7.23 mmol), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 hr. Water was added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed twice with saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure and the obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=9:1 to 3:2) to give the title compound (336 mg, yield 18%) as a white solid.
