Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-fluoro-4-hydroxy-benzoic acid methyl ester (1.5 g, 8.82 mmol), K2CO3 (2.43 g, 17.6 mmol) and ethyliodide (2.75 g, 17.6 mmol) in DMF (15 ml) was heated to 80° C. for 2 hrs. Addition of excess Na2CO3 and extraction with EtOAc followed by washing with satd. NaCl, then drying with Na2SO4 and evaporation afforded the title compound (1.76 g, 101% yield) as an orange oil. MS: m/e=170 (M+).
