Procedure

To a solution of hydroxy-(4-hydroxy-phenyl)-acetic acid monohydrate (10 g) in DMF (50 mL) was added K2CO3 (29.7 g), followed by 3,4-dichlorobenzyl bromide (16.1 mL). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 h. The mixture was poured into water (250 mL) and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was washed with water 1N HCl, brine, dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated. The resulting solid was triturated with diethyl ether and filtered to provide [4-(3,4-dichloro-benzyloxy)-phenyl]-hydroxy-acetic acid 3,4-dichloro-benzyl ester as a white solid (9.4 g). 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO d6): 7.69 (d, 1H), 7.63 (d, 1H), 7.55 (d, 1H), 7.41 (m, 1H), 7.37 (d, 1H), 7.31 (m, 2H), 7.20 (m, 1H), 6.97 (m, 2H), 6.06 (d, 1H), 5.16 (d, 1H), 5.1 (m, 4H).
