Procedure

To a suspension of 2-bromo-5-hydroxybenzaldehyde (100 mg, 0.50 mmol), potassium carbonate (138 mg, 1.00 mmol), and tetrabutylammonium iodide (18 mg, 0.05 mmol) in 1.0 mL of dry N,N-dimethylformamide was added benzyl bromide (89 μL, 0.74 mmol) at 0° C. After being stirred at room temperature overnight, the reaction mixture was diluted with diethyl ether, and the solution was washed with water, saturated NaHCO3 aqueous solution, brine, and dried over MgSO4. After filtration, the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=95/5 to 80/20) to obtain the title compound as a colorless oil (140 mg, 97%).
