Procedure

To a mixture of 4-[1-ethyl-1-(6-methoxy-benzo[b]thiophen-2-yl)-propyl]-2-methyl-phenol (2.53 g, 7.43 mmol) and acetonitrile (25 mL) is added methyl bromoacetate (0.84 mL, 8.92 mmol), powdered potassium carbonate (4.10 g, 29.72 mmol), and potassium iodide (0.12 g, 0.74 mmol). The resulting slurry is stirred at reflux temperature for 2 h, filtered, and concentrated. The residue is dissolved in diethyl ether (100 mL), washed with water (75 ml), brine (75 mL), dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated to give the title compound (1.5 g, 3.63 mmol, 49%). 1H NMR (CDCl3), δ 0.74 (t, J =7.2 Hz, 6H), 2.17 (q, J =14.7, 7.5 Hz, 4H), 2.25 (s, 3H), 2.30 (s, 2H), 3.80 (s, 3H), 3.86 (s, 3H), 3.60 (d, J=8.6 Hz, 1H), 6.89 (dd, J=8.6, 2.5 Hz, 1H), 7.04 (s, 1H), 7.07 (s, 1H), 7.16 (d, J=2.5 Hz, 1H), 7.55 (d, J=8.9 Hz, 1H).
