Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-hydroxy-4-propylphenyl 4-methylbenzenesulfonate (0.11 mmol; 33 mg) under argon, in acetone (0.2 mL), were added K2CO3 (0.13 mmol; 18 mg), NaI (0.02 mmol; 3 mg), and benzylbromide (0.12 mmol; 0.015 mL). The reaction was stirred at 40° C. for 5 hr. The reaction mixture was then hydrolysed with NH4Cl sat. (3 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3*5 mL). Combined organic phases were washed with saturated NaHCO3 (3 mL), dried over MgSO4, concentrated. The residue was purified by preparative TLC (dichlorométhane) to yield the title compound as a clear oil (28 mg; 0.07 mmol; 64%).
