Reaction Steps

To a stirring solution of 4-(4-(difluoromethoxy)-2-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-one (80 mg, 0.25 mmol) in acetonitrile (10 mL) was added potassium carbonate (104 mg, 0.75 mmol) and followed by 3-bromo-2,2-dimethyl-propan-1-ol (125 mg, 0.75 mmol) and the resultant reaction mixture was heated to 80° C. for 16 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to RT, filtered through celite and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, 0-70% ethyl acetate in pet ether) to afford title compound as a solid (30 mg, 30%).
