Reaction Steps

t-Butyl bromoacetate (0.83 mL, 5.1 mmol), methyl 4-hydroxybenzoate (780 mg, 5.1 mmol) and Cs2CO3 (1.83 g, 5.6 mmol) were combined in 25 mL DMF. After 16 h, the reaction was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with water, saturated NaHCO3, 10% KHSO4 and brine, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated providing 24-1 as a yellow oil. Rf 0.84 (silica, 50% EtOAC/hexane).
