Procedure

To a mixture of 2′,6′-dihydroxyacetophenone (4 g) and potassium carbonate (3.82 g) in acetone (40 mL) was added benzyl bromide (3.13 mL), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was poured into water, and the precipitated crystals were collected by filtration. The crystals were washed with water and n-hexane, and dried under reduced pressure to give the title compound (3.67 g).
