Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Allyl 3-hydroxyphenylacetate (2.64 g, 13.7 mmol), potassium carbonate (3.79 g, 27.4 mmol), and tert-butyl 2-bromoisobutyrate (7.65 g, 34.3 mmol) were dissolved in dimethylformamide (5 mL), and the mixture was stirred for 13 hours at 80° C. The reaction mixture was added to water, and the resultant mixture was extracted with diethyl ether. Washing was performed sequentially with water and saturated brine, followed by drying over magnesium sulfate. The mixture was subjected to concentration under reduced pressure and purification by silica gel column chromatography (n-hexane/ethyl acetate=20/1), whereby the target compound was obtained (3.47 g, 10.38 mmol, 75.7%).
