Procedure

A mixture of 2-[2-(3-hydroxy-phenoxy)-ethyl]-isoindole-1,3-dione (24) (5 g, 17.6 mmol), 4-bromoethyl butyrate (3.0 mL, 21.28 mmol) and cesium carbonate (6.2 g, 35.38 mmol) in NMP (30 mL) was warmed at 70° C. for 12 h. The mixture was cooled to room temperature and poured into crushed ice. This mixture was extracted with EtOAc and the organic layer was washed with water, then brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification by flash chromatography (0 to 10% EtOAc-hexanes gradient) gave ether 5 as clear oil. Yield (3.33 g, 47%): 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.85-7.87 (m, 2H), 7.71-7.74 (m, 2H), 7.10-7.14 (m, 1H), 6.42-6.47 (m, 3H), 4.08-4.22 (m, 6H), 3.95 (t, J=6.0 Hz, 2H), 2.49 (t, J=7.4 Hz, 2H), 2.04-2.11 (m, 2H), 1.26 (t, J=7.2 Hz, 3H).
