Procedure

The reaction mixture of 1.0 g (6.4 mmoles) of 2-chloro-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde, 4.4 g (32 mmoles) of potassium carbonate, and 1.4 g (9.6 mmoles) of methyl iodide in 10 mL of N,N-dimethylformamide was stirred at 70° C. for 2 h and poured into ice water. The precipitate was filtered, washed with water, and dried at 40° C. in vacuum oven overnight to yield 750 mg (68%) of the title compound as a light pink solid.
