Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a stirring solution of 2,6-dimethoxyphenol (2 g, 12.9 mmol) in acetonitrile (50 mL) was added potassium carbonate (3.5 g, 25.8 mmol) and (bromomethyl)cyclopropane (3.5 g, 25.8 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 obtained residue was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, 0-10% ethyl acetate in pet ether) to afford 2-(Cyclopropylmethoxy)-1,3-dimethoxybenzene as a solid (2 g, 74%).
