Procedure

0.2 g (0.49 mmol) of 4-Bromo-3-[2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-ethoxy]-5-hydroxy-benzoic acid was dissolved in 5 ml DMF and 0.272 mg (1.97 mmol) of potassium carbonate was added. The solution was cooled to 0° C. and 0.699 g (4.9 mmol) methyl bromide was added. The solution was stirred for 16 h at RT. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel eluting with ethyl acetate/n-heptane (1/1). The resulting compound was dissolved in 10 ml dioxan and 1 ml water. 2N aqueous NaOH was added to the solution to give a pH of 13. The reaction solution was heated at 60° C. for 4 h. 5 ml water was added, followed by concentrated hydrochloric acid to give a pH of 1-2, whereupon the product precipitated from solution. The suspension was stirred for 30 min, then the product was filtered off and dried under reduced pressure.
