Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl-3-hydroxyphenyl acetate (14.1 g, 85.0 mmol), chloromethylquinoline (15.1 g, 85.0 mmol), cesium carbonate (29.0 g) and acetone (300 ml) is refluxed for 40 hours. The mixture is filtered through Celite and silica gel and the solvent is removed in vacuo to give 25.4 g (97% yield) of oil.
