Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-cyclopropyl-phenol (1.00 g, 7.46 mmol) in acetone (20 mL) was added potassium iodide (2.47 g, 16.4 mmol), sodium carbonate (2.34 g, 16.4 mmol), and methyl bromoacetate (0.63 mL, 6.78 mmol), and the reaction mixture was stirred 12 hours. After filtering off the solid, the filtrate was concentrated. The residue was purified by chromatography (silica, hexanes: EtOAc=4:1) to afford the title compound as a yellow oil (1.29 g, 84%).
