After 1 hour, additional 2-bromoethyl methyl ether (4 g, 0.028 mol, 0.059 equiv) was added and the mixture was stirred at 60° C. for another hour. The mixture was cooled to room temperature and poured into 1 L of water. After 30 minutes, the product was formed and collected by filtration and washed with water and heptane. The product was dried in a vacuum oven at 60° C. to give the title compound 97 g. MS (ESI) m/z: 255 (M+1).
