Procedure

4-tert-Butyl-2-methyl-6-nitro-phenol (209 mg, 1 mmol) was dissolved in 3 mL acetone. 552 mg K2CO3 (4 eq) was added, followed by addition of MeI (0.33 mL, 5 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred vigorously at 60° C. overnight. After removal of the acetone, the residue was shaken with DCM. Filtration and evaporation of the solution yielded 221 mg product which was used as such.
