Reaction Steps

Iodomethane (11.2 mL) was added to a mixture of compound 6b (32.6 g), DMF (100 mL), and potassium carbonate (62.5 g) at 0° C. The mixture was stirred and allowed to warm to RT over 2 hr. Water (200 mL) was added, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and evaporated to afford 1-(4-bromo-2-methoxyphenyl)-1-ethanone (compound 6c, 33.1 g) as a tan solid.
