Procedure

A mixture of [4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)butyl]carbamic acid tert-butyl ester 31 (1.00 g, 3.78 mmol), potassium carbonate (0.627 g, 4.54 mmol), sodium iodide (0.567 g, 3.78 mmol), and methyl bromoacetate (0.40 mL, 4.21 mmol) in anhydrous DMF (8 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 14 h. The reaction mixture was then diluted with ethyl acetate (100 mL) and hexanes (20 mL), washed with water (20 mL×4) and brine (30 mL), and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford the desired product 32 as a yellow oil (1.28 g, 100% yield) which was used for the next step without further purification. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 1.40 (s, 9H), 1.41-1.65 (m, 4H), 2.49-2.60 (m, 2H), 3.02-3.16 (m, 2H), 3.79 (s, 3H), 4.45 (br s, 1H), 4.59 (s, 2H), 6.79 (d, 2H), 7.05 (d, 2H). m/z (ESI): 338 [C18H27NO5+H]+.
