To a solution of 4-hydroxy-2-methoxybenzoic acid methyl ester (4.17 g, 22 mmol) in DMF (50 ml) under argon was added potassium carbonate (6.33 g, 4.6 mmol) followed by iodoethane (7.15 g, 4.6 mmol). The mixture was then heated to 50° C. under argon for 12h. On cooling the mixture was poured into a large excess of water and extracted with ether.
