Komponenten

Versuchsvorschrift

To a suspension of sodium hydride (60% w/w dispersion in oil, 2 eq.) in anhydrous THF (0.23 M) was added tert-butyl 2-chloro-5-(2-hydroxyethyl)benzoate from the previous step (1 eq.). The reaction mixture was heated at reflux for 30 min before iodomethane (7.9 eq.) was added. After carefully quenching with sat. aq. NaHCO3, the resulting mixture was extracted with ether. The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4 and filtered. Concentration of the filtrate in vacuo afforded a cloudy oil. Purification of the crude product thus obtained by way of flash chromatography (SiO2, Hex→85:15 (v/v) Hex:EtOAc) afforded the title compound as a colorless oil.
