Potassium Carbonate → HCID 18782514, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl 3-bromo-4-hydroxybenzoate (Description 64, 2.3 g, 10 mmol), bromocyclobutane (2.0 g, 15 mmol) and potassium carbonate (2.42 g, 17.5 mmol) in DMF (25 ml) was stirred at room temperature for 3 days then at 70° C. for 6 h. The mixture was cooled, diluted with water (150 ml) and extracted with ethyl acetate (4×25 ml). The combined organic fractions were washed with aqueous sodium hydroxide (1M, 25 ml), dried (MgSO4), and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to give the title compound as a gum (1.15 g). 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 1.66-1.77 (1 H, m), 1.88-1.93 (1 H, m), 2.22-2.31 (2 H, m), 2.46-2.60 (2 H, m), 3.89 (3 H, s), 4.75 (1 H, app. pent, J 7.0 Hz), 6.74 (1 H, d, J 8.6 Hz), 7.91 (1 H, dd, J 8.6, 2.1 Hz), and 8.23 (1 H, d, J 2.1 Hz).
