Reaktionsschritte

Anhydrous sodium carbonate (3.98 g) and dimethyl sulfate (3.78 g, 30 mmol) were added to a solution of 4-(4-hydroxy-3-ethoxyphenyl)-3-buten-2-one (6.2 g, 30 mmol) in acetone (40 ml). The reaction mixture was stirred under refluxing for 8 hr. The precipitated yellow solid was filtered, washed with acetone, and then recrystallized from anhydrous ethanol to give 4.3 g of a yellow crystal, mp 95-96° C., yield 65.3%.
