Am. Chem. Soc., 1984, 106, 2651) (27.15 g, 103 mmol) in anhydrous acetonitrile (400 mL) was added cesium carbonate (73.80 g, 227 mmol) and 4-methoxybenzyl chloride (33.5 mL, 247 mmol). The resulting solid mass was broken up and the mixture heated at 65° C. for 15 h. The reaction mixture was poured into sat. NaHCO3 (aq.) (400 mL) and the resultant mixture extracted with ethyl acetate (3×300 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine (300 mL), dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by chromatography on silica gel with a gradient of ethyl acetate:hexanes (1:9, v/v) to ethyl acetate:hexanes (1:3, v/v) as eluent to afford 2-iodo-5-(4-methoxybenzyloxy)benzoic acid 4-methoxybenzyl ester (15.39 g, 30.52 mmol, 30%).
