Participants

Reaction Steps

To sodium hydride (0.53 g, 50% in oil, 11.0 mmol) in 40 ml of DMF, under N2 at 5°, is added, dropwise and with vigorous stirring, a solution of 4-(1-methylpropoxy)phenol (1.66 g, 10.0 mmol) in 10 ml of DMF. After the mixture is stirred at RT for 1 hour, a solution of 2-mesyloxymethyl-1,4-benzodioxin (2.70 g, 11.0 mmol) in 10 ml of DMF is slowly added. The resulting reaction mixture is stirred at RT for 48 hours and is then mixed with water and extracted with ether. The combined organic extracts are washed with water and with brine, dried and solvent removed and the product is purified by column chromatography to give 2-[4-(1-methylpropoxy)phenoxymethyl]-1,4-benzodioxin, MS m/e 315 (M+).
