Procedure

A mixture of 6.0 g (0.017 mol) of 6-bromo-1-[3,4-dimethoxy-5-(1-methylethyl)phenyl]-1-hexanone, 3.39 g (0.016 mol) of 2,4-dihydroxy-3-propylbenzoic acid methyl ester and 7.0 g (0.051 mol) of potassium carbonate in 120 mL of acetone and 12 mL of DMF was stirred at reflux for 19 hours. After workup as in Example 16, the crude product was purified by HPLC using 16% ethyl acetate-hexane to give 7.7 g (98% yield) of 4-[[6-[3,4-dimethoxy-5-(1-methylethyl)phenyl)-6-oxohexyl]oxy]-2-hydroxy-3-propylbenzoic acid methyl ester as an oil. The nmr spectrum was consistent with the structure.
