Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-bromophenol (3.0 g, 1.745 mmol, Aldrich) and 1-chloro-2-methylpropan-2-ol (2.8 g, 6.397 mmol, Spectrochem) in DMF (15 mL) was added sodium carbonate (1.23 g, 11.63 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated at 90° C. for 12 h. After completion, the reaction mixture was diluted with water (10 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×50 mL). The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain crude material that was purified by combiflash silica gel column chromatography (column size: 12 g; elution: 0-5% ethyl acetate in hexane) to yield 1-(2-bromophenoxy)-2-methylpropan-2-ol (2.7 mg, 64.2%) as a transparent liquid. m/z (ESI) 243.3 (M+H)+.
