Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of this phenol (100 mg, 0.20 mmol) in acetone (10 mL) under nitrogen was added methyl bromoacetate (21 μL, 0.22 mmol) and potassium carbonate (55 mg, 0.40 mmol). The mixture was heated to reflux for 14 h., cooled to room temperature, filtered and the filtrate evaporated to afford a residue (100 mg) which was purified using preparative thin layer chromatography eluting with diethyl ether:dichloromethane:iso-hexane 1:1:5 to give the desired product (25 mg).
