Procedure

4-Hydroxybenzaldehyde (3 g, 24.6 mmol) and potassium carbonate (10.2 g, 73.8 mmol) were suspended in N,N-dimethylformamide (60 mL). 1-Bromobutane (3.17 mL, 29.5 mmol) was added to this suspension, and stirred for 17 hours at room temperature. The mixture was partitioned into ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was separated, washed with water, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under a reduced pressure to obtain the title compound (4.72 g).
