Reaction Steps

A mixture of o-anisoyl chloride (25.8 g, 0.15 mmol) and 1,4-dimethoxybenzene (37.2 g, 0.27 mol) was heated for 20 hours at 200° C., under N2. Distillation led to recovered 1,4-dimethoxybenzene (18.7 g), b.p. 232° C. (8 mm) followed by the title product, shown below, (25.4 g, 63%), b.p. 232° C. (7 mm) which was suitable for carrying forward to the next step. ##STR3##
