Reaction Steps

A mixture of hydroxynaphthoic acid 18 (24.7 g, 92.2 mmol), dimethyl sulfate (21.8 mL, 231 mmol), and K2CO3 (31.9 g, 231 mmol) in acetone (200 mL) was refluxed overnight. The solid was filtered, and the filtrate was condensed to give a solid residue, which was recrystallized from EtOAc/hexanes to afford the titled compound 19 (21.2 g, 78%) as a white solid.
