Reaction Steps

A mixture of 10.0 g (0.06 mol) of 3,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid methyl ester, 12.3 ml (0.06 mol) of 1-bromodecane and 8.2 g (0.06 mol) of potassium carbonate in 200 ml of acetone and 20 ml of DMF was stirred at reflux under argon for 24 hours. After the usual workup, purification by HPLC using 15% ethyl acetate-hexane gave 7.3 g (34% yield, mp 92°-94°) of 3-(decyloxy)-5-hydroxybenzoic acid methyl ester. The nmr spectra was consistent with the structure.
