Procedure

A mixture of 3-bromophenol (commercially available) (1.72 g, 10 mmol), bromocyclopentane (commercially available) (2.96 g, 20 mmol), and K2CO3 (2.56 g, 20 mmol) in acetone (30 mL) was stirred at 80° C. for 18 h. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the mixture was extracted with EtOAc (100 mL×2). The combined organic layers was washed with sat NaCl (50 mL), dried over Na2SO4, concentrated, and purified by column to give the title product (1.8 g, yield 75%).
