Procedure

Charged 5-chloro-2-(hydroxymethyl)phenol (616 mg, 3.88 mmol, PREPARATION 7), bromocyclopropylmethanol (525 mg, 3.88 mmol), K2CO3 (1.07 g, 7.77 mmol) and DMF (6 mL) to a flask, purged with nitrogen and heated to 80° C. overnight. Poured into ice water, and extracted with ethyl acetate twice, and washed the organic phase with water twice, brine and dried with anhydrous Na2SO4, removed the solvent for silica gel chromatograph to give 108 mg of the title compound (13%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 0.33-0.37 (2H, m), 0.63-0.68 (2H, m), 1.26-1.28 (1H, m), 3.84 (2H, d, J=7.2 Hz), 4.67 (2H, s), 4.86 (1H, s), 6.84 (1H, d, J=1.2 Hz), 6.91 (1H, dd, J=2.0 Hz, 8.0 Hz), 7.19 (1H, d, J=7.6 Hz).
