Reaction Steps

Ethyl 2-(3-hydroxyphenyl)acetate (24 g, 80.51 mmol) in THF (100 mL) was slowly added sodium hydride (2.93 g, 73.3 mmol) and chloromethylmethylether (5.94 g, 73.7 mmol) at 0° C. The reaction mixture was stirred for 16 hours at room temperature. The mixture was added water (200 mL) and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was dried with MgSO4. The organic layer was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography eluting with n-Hexane/EtOAc=10/1.
