Procedure

A mixture of commercially available 3,6-difluoro-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde (2.450 g; 15.50 mmol), iodomethane (2.199 g; 15.50 mmol), and K2CO3 (2.570 g; 18.60 mmol) in anh. DMF (50 ml) was heated to 80° C., under nitrogen, for 4 h. Et2O was added and the organic layer was washed with water, dried over anh. MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure affording 3,6-difluoro-2-methoxybenzaldehyde as a colorless solid. LC-MS (conditions A): tR=0.62 min.; no ionisation.
