4-cyano-3-hydroxybenzoic acid methyl ester, Example 34, Step 3 (300 mg, 1.7 mmol) was dissolved in DMF (8.5 ml) and treated with benzyl bromide (200 μl, 1.7 mmol). Cs2CO3 (610 mg, 1.87 mmol) was then added and the reaction mixture stirred at room temp. for 6 hours. The mixture was filtered and washed with DMF (3×10 mL). The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue was purified by flash chromatography (15% EtOAc/Hexane) to yield the desired product.
