Reaktionsschritte

A mixture of methyl 2,3-dihydroxybenzoate (2.18 g, 12.97 mmol), 2-bromoethyl methyl ether (4.50 g, 32.42 mmol), and potassium carbonate (6.91 g, 50.0 mmol) in DMF (20 mL) was stirred at 60° C. for 16 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (300 mL), washed with 5% aqueous LiCl (2×50 mL), and brine (50 mL), dried with sodium sulfate, and concentrated to provide crude methyl 2,3-bis{[2-(methyloxy)ethyl]oxy}benzoate (3.49 g, 95% yield) as a brown oil. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ7.32 (dd, 1H), 7.05 (m, 2H), 4.22 (m, 2H), 4.15 (m, 2H), 3.88 (s, 3H), 3.75 (m, 4H), 3.43 (s, 6H).
