Procedure

To a solution of 2-bromo-3-hydroxybenzaldehyde (0.5 g, 2.4 mmol) was added potassium carbonate (0.77 g, 5.6 mmol), and the mixture was stirred for 5 minutes. Iodomethane (0.17 mL, 2.7 mmol) was added, and the reaction was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The mixture was diluted with H2O (30 mL) and EtOAc (30 mL), and the organic layer was washed with 1N aqueous NaOH, then brine, dried over Na2SO4, decanted, and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (0-60% EtOAc in hexanes) to give the title compound.
