Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 1-(5-fluoro-2-hydroxyphenyl)ethanone (100 g), methyl bromoacetate (67.6 mL) and N,N-dimethylformamide (500 mL) was added potassium carbonate (135 g), and the mixture was stirred at 50° C. for 2 hr. The insoluble material was filtered off, 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (97.1 mL) was added, and the mixture was stirred at 120° C. for 30 min. 1N Hydrochloric acid was added to the reaction mixture at 0° C., and the resulting precipitate was collected by filtration to give the title object compound (77.9 g, 58%) as a white solid.
