Reaction Steps

Into a round bottom flask was placed 1-(3-bromo-5-chloro-2-hydroxy-4-methylphenyl)ethanone (6.0 g, 23 mmol) in anhydrous DMF (22.8 mL). Potassium carbonate (6.3 g, 46 mmol) was then added followed by iodoethane (2.73 mL, 34.2 mmol). The resulting suspension was stirred at 60° C. for 2 h. The mixture was poured into 100 mL water and extracted with 200 mL of ethyl ether. The organic layers were separated, combined and washed with water and saturated NaCl solution, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated to 6.0 g of tan oil. LCMS calculated for C11H13BrClO2 (M+H)+: m/z=293.0; Found: 293.0
