Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-hydroxyacetophenone (5.5 g) in dimethylformamide (18 mL) was added 3-bromopropyl phenylmethyl ether (9.25 g) at ambient temperature followed by cesium carbonate (17 g). The suspension was stirred for 24 h and water was added followed by ethyl acetate. The organic layer was separated and the aqueous layer extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layers were combined and washed twice with 2 N sodium hydroxide, four times with brine, and concentrated in vacuo to an oil to give the title compound.
