Reaction Steps

Ethyl 2-(3-(methoxymethoxy)phenyl)acetate (8.06 g, 35.9 mmol) in DMF (50 mL) was slowly added sodium hydride (1.74 g, 43.5 mmol) and iodomethane (6.37 g, 44.9 mmol) at 0° C. The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 hour at 0° C. The mixture was added water (250 mL) and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was dried with MgSO4. The organic layer was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography eluting with n-Hexane/EtOAc=10/1.
