Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-(2-bromo-4-hydroxyphenyl)-N-methoxy-N-methylacetamide (1.37 g) in THF (5 mL) was slowly added to a suspension of sodium hydride (0.22 g) in THF (30 mL) at 0° C. After stirring for 10 min, bromo(methoxy)methane (1.25 g) was added dropwise at 0° C. The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 2 hr. The mixture was poured into water and extracted with ethyl acetate (30 mL×3). The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated to dryness. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (petroleum ether/ethyl acetate) to afford the title compound (1.34 g).
