Reaction Steps

A stirred mixture of 4-hydroxy-alpha-oxobenzeneacetic acid methyl ester (1.01 g) in dimethylformamide (10 mL) under argon was treated with 55% sodium hydride (0.262 g), stirred for 15 minutes and treated with 2-(3-bromopropyl)naphthalene (1.7 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; 4:1) and crystallized from diethyl ether-hexane to provide 0.4 g of 4-[[3-(2-naphthalenyl) propyl]oxy]-alpha-oxobenzeneacetic acid methyl ester, mp 97°-99° C.
