To a stirred solution of vanillin (3)(2 g, 13.16 mmol) and methyl 4-bromobutyrate (2.38 g, 13.16 mmol) in DMF (20 cm3) was added freshly ground anhydrous potassium carbonate (2.03 g, 14.47 mmol). The resulting pale pink suspension was heated at 100° C. for 90 mins, after which time the suspension has become milky pink in appearance. The mixture was then poured into water (50 cm3) and extracted with Et2O (3×30 cm3). The combined organic extracts were washed with water (2×30 cm3), then 1M HCl (2×30 cm3) before being dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo. The pale pink solid 4 was used without further purification (2.7 g, 82%). m.p. 69° C. [lit. (D. L. McMinn and M. M. Greenberg, Tetrahedron, 1996, 52, 3827) m.p. 68-69° C.].
