Reaction Steps

Syringaldehyde (1.0 g,5.49 mmole), 2-iodo-1-ethanol (1.90 g,10.98 mmole) and potassium carbonate (1.90 g, 13.77 mmole) were added to 15 ml dry DMF and stirred for 24 hours at 80° C. under an argon atmosphere. The reaction mixture was added to 100 ml H2O and acidified with 10% HCl. The product was extracted into CHCl3, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated to an oil in vacuo. The remaining oil was purified by flash column chromatography using 1:1 hex/ethyl acetate as eluent (1.009 g, 81%). NMR: (CDCl3) 3.23,t,1H; 3.73,m,2H; 3.93,s,6H; 4.20,t,2H; 7.13,s,2H; 9.87,s,1H M.S. (CI): 227 (100%).
