Reaktionsschritte

A mixture of di(4-chlorophenyl)dimethoxymethane (26 g) (see Preparation 13) and methyl (3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)acetate (16 g) (see Preparation 12) in toluene (200 ml) was heated under reflux in a Dean-Stark apparatus for one hour. The reaction was cooled to 60° C. and p-toluenesulphonic acid was added (50 mg). After heating under reflux for 16 hours the solution was cooled, washed with aqueous sodium bicarbonate (100 ml, dried (MgSO4) and evaporated to a brown gum. Flash chromatography (silica, eluant=4:1 hexane/ethyl acetate) gave the title compound as a pale yellow gum (13.7 g). LRMS m/z=415(m)+.
