Procedure

To a solution of (2-bromo-3,5-bis-methoxymethoxy-phenyl)-methanol (7.68 g, 24.94 mmol) in THF (50 mL) was added NaH at 0° C. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 20 minutes then MeI (7.84 mL) was added and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The mixture was diluted with ether (50 mL), filtered through a pad of celite and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel flash column chromatography to give 2-bromo-1,5-bis-methoxymethoxy-3-methoxymethyl-benzene (5.66 g, 70%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3δ 6.90 (s, 1H), 6.80 (s, 1H), 6.77 (s, 1H), 5.25 (s, 2H), 5.20 (s, 2H), 4.50 (s, 23.77 (s, 3H), 3.40 (s, 6H).
