Procedure

A solution of [4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)butyl]carbamic acid benzyl ester (2.0 g, 6.7 mmol), potassium carbonate (1.0 g, 7.3 mmol), sodium iodide (0.4 g, 2.7 mmol), and DMF (10 mL) was stirred for 30 minutes. A solution of ethyl bromoacetate (0.8 mL, 7.4 mmol) in DMF (10 mL) was added dropwise to the reaction. The reaction was further stirred at room temperature for 3 days, and then poured into water (200 mL). The product was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (silica gel, 1:5 ethyl acetate/hexanes, v/v) to provide the desired product 33 (2.3 g, 89%) as a white solid. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 1.34 (t, 3H), 1.57 (m, 4H), 2.56 (t, 2H), 3.20 (q, 2H), 4.25 (q, 2H), 4.59 (s, 2H), 5.10 (s, 2H), 6.85 (d, 2H), 7.06 (d, 2H), 7.38 (m, 5H).
