To this was added 3.2 mL (0.053 mol) of methyl iodide followed by 5.43 g (0.048 mol) of potassium t-butoxide. The mixture was warmed at ca. 60° C. for 2 hours then allowed to cool to room temperature and stirred for ca. 2 hours. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed three times with 1N HCl, once with brine, dried (MgSO4) and evaporated to an oily solid which was triturated with 5% diethyl ether/95% hexanes affording 6 g of the title compound as a beige solid, m.p. 134°-135° C. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 200 MHz.) δ: 7.11(s,1H), 6.59(d,1H), 6.41(d,1H), 4.32(bs,1H), 3.67(s,3H), 1.26(s,9H).
