Reaction Steps

To a stirred suspension of 1-{2-hydroxy-4,6-bis[(2-methoxyethoxy)methoxy]phenyl}ethanone (3.53 g, 10 mmol), potassium carbonate (1.7 g, 14 mmol) in DMF (15 mL) was added benzylbromide (2.1 g, 12 mmol). After stirring overnight, the reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (100 mL) and thoroughly washed with brine. The organic phase was dried and evaporated to dryness. The crude was chromatographed on a small pad of silica gel eluting with hexane/ethyl acetate 7/1, to provide the title compound (g 3.25, yield 73%).
