Reaction Steps

Another method for the alkylation of the 3-hydroxy is by reaction with an alcohol in the presence of boron trifluoride etherate. Thus, methanol and boron trifluoride etherate yield a methyl ether at a reaction temperature of about 25° C. followed conveniently by thin layer chromatography.
