Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3,4,5-trimethoxytoluene (0.83 g; 4.6 mmol), 4C (4.6 mmol), aluminium chloride (0.62 g, 4.6 mmol) and dichloromethane (20 ml) is stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. A mixture of water and ethyl acetate (1:1 v/v; 50 ml) is then added. The organic phase is concentrated and the residue is crystallized from diisopropylether and recrystallized from methanol. The solid material is collected by vacuum filtration, washed with water and dried yielding yellow crystals, 0.7 g, (35.4% y) mp 87-88° C.
