Procedure

1-(3-tert-Butyl-5-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)ethanone (O3.070; 2.00 g) and 3-bromo-2,2-dimethylpropyl acetate (2.54 g) were dissolved in DMF (15 ml), and cesium carbonate (3.69 g) was added. After stirring at 150° C. and max. 15 bar in a microwave for 2.5 h, a further 0.5 eq. of the bromide was added and the mixture was placed into the microwave at 150° C. for a further 2 h. Then the mixture was concentrated by rotary evaporation and the residue was partitioned between DCM and water. The DCM phase was removed, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified using silica gel (120 g cartridge, n-heptane/MtB ether gradient of 0-50% within 60 min). 1.17 g of the title compound were obtained.
