Procedure

Combine 5.6 g of 3-hydroxybenzaldehyde (46 mmol) and 10.7 g of 1-iodoethane (69 mmol) in DMSO (25 mL) and warm to 80° C. and treat with 22.4 g of cesium carbonate (69 mmol) portionwise and stir. After 1 hour, pour into 200 mL brine and extract twice with 150 mL diethyl ether. Combine the extracts and wash twice with 200 mL brine, dry over MgSO4 and concentrate under vacuum to give an oil. Purification by chromatography (SiO2; 2.5% EtOAc in Hexanes) affords 5.73 g (38 mmol; 83%) of the desired compound as an oil: 1H NMR (CDCl3) 9.94 (s, 1H), 7.42–7.41 (m, 2H), 7.36–7.35 (m, 1H), 7.16–7.13 (m, 1H), 4.10–4.04 (q, 2H), 1.64–1.40 (t, 3H).
