Methyl iodide → HCID 57742132, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of (3-Methoxymethoxy-phenyl)-acetic acid ethyl ester (31.2 g) in DMF (200 mL) was slowly added sodium hydride (6.21 g) and iodomethane (22.3 g) at 0°. After stirred for 20 h at 0°, this reaction mixture was quenched with water. This mixture was extracted with EtOAc, and combined organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting residue was chromatographed on silica gel (n-Hex:EtOAc=10:1) to afford the product as colorless oil.
