Reaction Steps

0.2 ml (1.6 mmol) of triethylamine and then 0.15 ml (1.7 mmol) of ethanesulfonyl chloride are added to a solution of 0.5 g (1.25 mmol) of methyl 3-{3-butoxy-4-[3-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)propyl]phenyl}propanoate (prepared according to Example 1d) in 3 ml of dichloromethane, cooled beforehand to −20° C. The reaction medium is stirred at room temperature for 3 hours and is then treated by addition of saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phases are combined, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated. The residue is purified by chromatography on a column of silica eluted with a 90/10 heptane/ethyl acetate mixture. 618 mg (99%) of methyl 3-{3-butoxy-4-[3-(4-ethanesulfonyloxy-3-methoxyphenyl)propyl]phenyl}propanoate are obtained in the form of a colorless oil.
