Reaction Steps

2,4-Dihydroxyacetophenone was alkylated with bromoethane in acetone in the presence of potassium carbonate to obtain 2-hydroxy-4-methoxyacetophenone. Using this compound and 2-methoxy-benzoic acid as starting materials, the syntheses according to Examples 1a, b, c, and d yielded the compound (m.p.: 153-154.5° C.).
