Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-ethoxy-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (3.0 g, 18.1 mmol, 1.0 equiv) and N,N-dimethylaminopyridine (2.87 g, 23.5 mmol, 1.3 equiv) in dichloromethane (10 mL) under Ar at 0° C. was added methanesulfonyl chloride (1.68 mL, 2.48 g, 21.7 mmol, 1.2 equiv). After the reaction mixture was stirred for 1 h, water (100 mL) was added, the solution extracted with dichloro-methane (3×50 mL) and the combined organic phases dried over MgSO4. Removal of the solvent by evaporation under reduced pressure provided the title compound in quantitative yield (4.8 g). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ 1.42 (t, J=7.0 Hz, 3H), 3.19 (s, 3H), 4.14 (q, J=7.0 Hz, 2H), 7.41 (s, 2H), 7.45 (s, 1H), 9.89 (s, 1H). 13C NMR (75 MHz, CDCl3): δ 14.53, 38.94, 64.99, 112.20, 124.38, 125.17, 136.01, 142.92, 151.63, 190.65. MS (ISP): 245.2 [M+H]+.
