反応手順

4-Hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde (1a, 2.00 g, 13.1 mmol) and potassium carbonate (9.00 g, 65.1 mmol) were combined in dimethyl formamide (30 ml) and stirred for 15 min at room temperature. Chloromethyl methyl ether (1.60 ml, 21.1 mmol) was added and stirring was continued for 6 hr at room temperature. The resulting mixture was filtered and the filtrate extracted into ethyl acetate, washed with saturated sodium chloride, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated to give 2.55 g (99%) of a white solid: mp 39-40° C. [expected mp 41° C.]; 1H NMR: δ 3.40 (s, 3H), 3.83 (s, 3H), 5.21 (s, 2H), 7.15 (d, 1H, J=8.7 Hz), 7.30 (dd, 1H, J=6.0, 2.0 Hz), 7.32 (s, 1H), 9.75 (s, 1H); 13C NMR: δ 55.8, 56.2, 94.8, 109.4, 114.6, 125.9, 130.9, 149.8, 151.7, 190.4.
