Reaction Steps

5.0 g of 3-Bromo-5-fluoro-4-hydroxy-benzoic acid methyl ester were dissolved using 50 ml of acetone. Then, 8.3 g of K2CO3 and 2.5 ml of CH3I were added and the reaction mixture stirred at room temperature for 48 h. The reaction mixture was then filtrated and evaporated. Chromatography on silica gel using EA/HEP 1:2 yielded 2.0 g of the title compound, oil.
