Procedure

A solution of 3.0 g (14.4 mmol) of 3-tert-butyl-4-hydroxy-benzoic acid methyl ester (Aust. J. Chem., 1978;31:907-916), cesium carbonate (7.04 g, 21.6 mmol), and acetonitrile (50 mL) was heated to reflux and then treated with N,N-dimethylthiocarbamoyl chloride (2.67 g, 21.6 mmol) all at once. The mixture was refluxed for 2 hours, cooled to room temperature. and quenched with 1N HCl. The solution was extracted with EtOAc; the organic layer was washed with 1N NaOH and brine, dried (MgSO4), and concentrated. The residue was chromatographed over silica gel, eluting with 3:2 hexane:EtOAc, to give 3-tert-butyl-4-dimethylthiocarbamoyloxy-benzoic acid methyl ester.
