Methyl 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoate (16) (55.24 g, 0.3 mol), benzyl chloride (113.93 g, 0.9 mol), potassium carbonate (124.39 g, 0.9 mol) and potassium iodide (catalytic amount) were mechanically stirred in dry DMSO (200 mL) at room temperature overnight. Water (200 mL) was added and the crude product isolated by filtration. Evaporation of residual solvents in a vacuum desiccator left a pale yellow solid which was essentially pure product. Yield: 128.2 g (94%).
