Reaction Steps

To a solution of 15.00 g (122 mmol) of p-anisidine in 100 mL of DMF under N2 was added 23.50 g (141 mmol) of ethyl bromoacetate and 14.95 g (141 mmol) anhydrous sodium carbonate. The mixture was heated to 70° C. for 16 hours and then cooled to room temperature. Water (500 mL) was added and the mixture stirred vigorously until a precipitate formed. The solid was collected and washed with 100 mL water, then dried in vacuo to give 19.59 g (88%) of the desired compound as a grey solid. 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ 6.81 (d, J=8.8, 2H); 6.579 (d, J=8.8, 2H); 4.24 (q, J=7.0, 2H); 4.10 (s, 1H); 3.86 (s, 2H); 3.75 (s, 3H); 1.28 (t, J=7.0, 3H).
