A solution of (3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)methanol (6.0 g, 40 mmol) (Aldrich Chemical Co., Milwaukee, Wis.) and methyl 3-chloro-4-hydroxybenzoate (2.5 g, 13.5 mmol) (Lancaster Synthesis Ltd, Windham, N.H.) in THF (100 mL) was cooled to 0° C. and treated with triphenylphosphine (8.8 g, 33.5 mmol). A solution of diethylazodicarboxylate (5.3 mL, 33.5 mmol) in THF (50 mL) was added dropwise over 30 minutes. After the addition was complete, the reaction was warmed to room temperature and stirred for an additional 30 minutes, and then concentrated to orange oil. The crude reaction was applied directly to a silica column and flushed with hexanes. The desired product was eluted from the column using 25% EtOAc in Hexanes to afford 1A as a light yellow solid (2.5 g, 56%).
