Reaction Steps

The intermediate 5-bromo-2-ethoxy-phenol (15 g, 73.9 mmol) was dissolved in DMF (100 mL) then treated with anhydrous K2CO3 (20.4 g, 148 mmol) followed by the addition of bromocyclobutane (19.1 g, 128 mmol). The reaction was heated at 65° C. for 12 h, then cooled to room temperature, diluted with diethyl ether, and the solution washed with a 1 N aqeuous NaOH solution followed by water. The organic layer was then dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated to afford titled compound as an oil (19.5 g, 90%). 1H NMR (CDCl3) 6.98 (dd, J=8.4, 2.1, 1H), 6.83 (d, J=2.4, 1H), 6.73 (d, J=8.7, 1H), 4.65-4.57 (m, 1H), 4.05 (q, J=7.1, 2H), 2.50-2.42 (m, 2H), 2.30-2.18 (m, 2H), 1.90-1.81 (m, 1H), 1.73-1.63 (m, 1H), 1.44 (t, J=7.1, 3H). 13C NMR 148.2, 147.8, 123.4 (CH), 117.0 (CH), 114.7 (CH), 112.7, 72.5 (CH), 64.8 (CH2), 30.6 (CH2), 14.7 (CH3), 13.1 (CH2). LC/MS (Method B) 4.18 min, [M+1]+ 271/273.
