Reaction Steps
A stirred mixture of 4-hydroxy-alpha-oxobenzeneacetic acid methyl ester (3.62 g) in dimethylformamide (40 mL) under argon was treated with 55% sodium hydride (0.875 g), stirred for 15 minutes and treated with the mesylate of 2-(2-naphthyloxy)ethanol (5.48 g). The mixture was heated at 60° C. overnight and worked up as in Example 20. The material from dichloromethane extraction was crystallized from dichloromethane-hexane to provide 4.2 g of 4-[[2-(2-naphthalenyloxy)ethyl]oxy]-alpha-oxobenzeneacetic acid methyl ester, mp 155°-157° C.
