Methyl iodide (2.28 mL, 2.3 mol) and potassium carbonate (5.11 g, 0.037 mol) were added in sequence at room temperature. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours at which point the reaction was determined to be complete by HPLC. The solvent was removed under high vacuum and the resulting residue was passed through a silica gel column using 5% ethyl acetate in hexanes as the eluent. The mixture of isomers was obtained as an oil and then separated by preparative normal phase HPLC using 0.5% isopropyl alcohol in hexanes as the eluent. The title compound was obtained as a white solid (1.38 g, 29%). 1H NMR (300.132 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.04 (d, J=2.2 Hz, 1H), 7.50 (dd, J=8.2, 2.2 Hz, 1H), 7.12 (d, J=8.2 Hz, 1H), 3.89 (s, 3H), 2.54 (s, 3H).
