To a mixture of methyl 3-formyl-4-hydroxy-benzoate (10.0 g, 55.5 mmol), potassium carbonate (30.7 g, 222.0 mmol) and N,N-dimethylformamide (62.5 mL) was added 2-iodopropane (18.9 g, 11.1 mL, 111.0 mmol) and the reaction mixture was heated at 60° C. for 18 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered, the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to give a residue which was dissolved in ethyl acetate (150 mL) and washed sequentially with water (3×75 mL) and brine solution (1×75 mL). The layers were separated and the organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to yield methyl 3-formyl-4-isopropoxy-benzoate (12.2 g, 99%) as a yellow viscous liquid.
