Reaktionsschritte

Methyl 3,5-dichloro-4-hydroxybenzoate (1) (1.00 g, 4.52 mmol) was dissolved in DMF (8 mL) and treated with bromocyclopentane (534 μL, 4.98 mmol), followed by potassium carbonate (937 mg, 6.79 mmol). The mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 3 h and then partitioned between EtOAc (100 mL) and H2O (100 mL). The aqueous phase was extracted with EtOAc (50 mL) and the combined organic phases washed successively with water (5×50 mL) and brine (50 mL), then dried over MgSO4 and filtered. The solvent was removed in vacuo to afford methyl 3,5-dichloro-4-(cyclopentyloxy)benzoate (2) (1.10 g, 84%): 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ: 7.97 (2H, s), 5.04 (1H, m), 3.90 (3H, s), 2.04-1.91 (4H, m), 1.82-1.75 (2H, m), 1.69-1.60 (2H, m).
