Reaction Steps

To a mixture of ethyl 3-(3,5-difluoro-4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-methylpropanoate (9) (930 mg, 3.81 mmol) and potassium carbonate (1.05 g, 7.62 mmol) in DMF (8 mL) was added benzyl chloride (0.53 mL, 4.57 mmol) and stirred overnight at 50° C. The reaction was diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×25 mL). The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel with hexanes and EtOAc to afford ethyl 3-(4-(benzyloxy)-3,5-difluorophenyl)-2-methylpropanoate (752).
