Reaction Conditions

Temperature	50 °C

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4,6-dichlorosalicylaldehyde (2.69 mmol) in 5 mL DMF was added K2CO3 (5.39 mmol) followed by iodomethane (2.96 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated to 50° C. for 3.5 h. At RT, the mixture was diluted with EtOAc and washed 3 times with water and then with brine. The combined organic layers were dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo to give the desired product as beige solid.
