Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 4-[3-(2-benzyloxy-5-hydroxyphenyl)propyl]- benzoic acid (150 mg) (prepared as described in Example 4) and potassium carbonate (125 mg) in DMF (5 ml) was added allyl bromide (0.076 ml). The mixture was stirred for 18 hours, then potassium carbonate (125 mg) and allyl bromide (0.076 ml) were added and the mixture stirred for a further 18 hours. The mixture was poured into water (50 ml) and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×20 ml). The combined organics solutions were washed with brine (25 ml) and sodium bicarbonate (25 ml), dried (magnesium sulphate) filtered and evaporated. There was thus obtained allyl 4-[3-(2-benzyloxy-5-(allyloxy)phenyl)propyl]benzoate (150 mg).
