Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 0.27 g (1.06 mmol) of the product of Step 1 and 0.13 g (1.06 mmol) of 3-methoxyphenol in 2 ml of anhydrous methylenechloride 0.16 ml (1.06 mmol) of diisopropylcarbondiimide was added at room temperature. The resulting mixture was stirred for 24 hours at room temperature and filtered off. The filtrate was evaporated to dryness and purified by flash column chromaytography (silica gel; methylene chloride) to give the title compound as a colorless crystals (0.185 g, 49%); 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 3.77 (s, 3H, OMe); 3.91 (s, 6H, OMe); 4.17 (s, 3H, OMe); 4.173 (s, 2H, CH2); 6.6-6.8 (m, 3H, CH aromatic); 7.2-7.3 (m, 3H, CH aromatic).
