Procedure

A solution of 2,6-Dimethylbenzyl alcohol (3.23 g, 23.7 mmol) and diisopropyl azodicarboxylate (DIAD, 5.23 g, 25.9 mmol) in THF (20 ml) was added drop wise to a solution of Ethyl 2-(3-Hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)acetate (Step A, 5.48 g, 26.12 mmol) and triphenylphosphine (6.79 g, 25.9 mmol) in THF (100 ml) at 0° C. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 hours, diluted with ether and washed with water and brine. The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered, concentrated, and purified by flash chromatography on a silica gel column (hex:ethyl acetate 4:1) to give the title compound.
