Reaction Steps

The starting benzoic acid (I) is made by the reaction of 2-(4-bromophenoxy)ethanol (V) with dihydropyran, in the presence of methylene chloride and p-toluenesulfonic acid.H2O, to give 4-(2-tetrahydropyranyloxyethoxy)bromobenzene (VI). The bromobenzene (VI) is converted to 4-(2-tetrahydropyranyloxyethoxy)benzoic acid (VII) by reacting with magnesium, in tetrahydrofuran and dibromoethane, and then with carbon dioxide. Reaction of (VII) with methanol yields the starting benzoic acid (I). ##STR2##
