Reaction Steps

A mixture of 25.0 g (137 mmol) methyl vanillate, 38.87 g (274 mmol) potassium carbonate, 500 ml DMF, and 16.5 ml (206 mmol) ethyl iodide was heated to 100° C. under N2. At 2.5 hours, cooled and removed solids. Stripped solvent, and partitioned between water and methylene chloride. Stripped solvent and dried in vacuo, giving 25.85 g of white solid: mass spectrum (EI m/e): M=210.0.
