Procedure

To a solution of 4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethylbenzonitrile (2.00 g, 13.5 mmol) and 1-chloro-2-methyl propan-2-ol (8.85 g, 81.5 mmol) in ethanol (50 mL) was added potassium carbonate (7.5 g, 54 mmol) and water (5 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at reflux for 24 h and cooled to room temperature. The precipitated solid was filtered off and washed with water. The solid was dissolved in ethyl acetate (100 mL), washed with water (50 mL), brine (50 mL), and dried over anhydrous Na2SO4. Removal of solvent gave 4-(2-hydroxy-2-methylpropoxy)-3,5-dimethyl benzonitrile (2.9 g, 97%) as a white solid.
