Reaction Conditions

Temperature60 °C

Reaction Steps

A stirred mixture of 4-hydroxy-alpha-oxobenzeneacetic acid methyl ester (0.724 g) in dimethylformamide (10 mL) under argon was treated with 55% sodium hydride (0.175 g), stirred for 15 minutes and treated with (4-bromobutoxy)benzene (1.37 g). The mixture was heated at 60° C. overnight and worked up as in Example 20. The material from dichloromethane extraction was purified by HPLC (dichloromethane-hexane; 3:1) and crystallized from dichloromethane-hexane to provide 0.85 g of alpha-oxo-4-[[(4phenoxy)butyl]oxy]benzeneacetic acid methyl ester, mp 57°-59°C.
