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 2-(4-bromobutoxy)naphthlene (1.12 g). The mixture was stirred and heated under argon at 60° C. overnight and worked up as in Example 20. The material from dichloromethane extraction was crystallized from dichloromethane-diethyl ether to provide 1.1 g of 4-[[4-(2-naphthalenyloxy)butyl]oxy]-alpha-oxobenzeneacetic acid methyl ester, mp 93°-95° C.
