Reaction Steps

3-Bromophenol (10.0 g, 57.8 mmoles) in anhydrous DMF (60 mL) was treated with K2CO3 (24.0 g, 173 mmoles) and allyl iodide (5.81 mL, 63.6 mmoles). Reaction stirred overnight at 80° C. Reaction allowed to cool to room temperature and diluted with ethyl acetate. The mixture was washed with H2O (2×), brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and the filtrate concentrated under reduced pressure to provide the title compound with no further purification.
