Reaction Steps

4-Hydroxy-3-methoxyphenylboronic acid pinacol ester (Aldrich, 518786) (1 g; 4 mmol), 2-bromomethyl)-methylether (0.83 g; 6 mmol) and Cs2CO3 (2.6 g; 8 mmol) in DMF (10 ml) are heated to 130° C. for 45 minutes. The reaction mixture is diluted with TBME/heptane (5 ml/5 ml), filtered and evaporated to deliver the title compound as yellow oil used without further purification in Example 79.
