Procedure

To a solution of 4-tert-butyl-2-chlorophenol (47.0 g, 0.25 mol) in dichloromethane (200 mL) was added Et3N (50.5 g, 0.50 mol), DMAP (1 g) and methyl chloroformate (35.4 g, 0.38 mol) at 0° C. The reaction was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred for additional 30 min. The reaction mixture was washed with H2O and the organic layer was dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated to give 4-tert-butyl-2-chlorophenyl methyl carbonate (56.6 g, 92%), which was used directly in the next step.
