Procedure
To a suspension of 3-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde (2.00 g, 13.2 mmol), potassium carbonate (2.74 g, 19.8 mmol) and potassium iodide (60.0 mg, 0.361 mmol) in DMF (15 mL) was slowly added 1-bromopropane (1.56 mL, 17.2 mmol) via syringe. The reaction mixture was stirred at 65° C. for 5 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was diluted with diethyl ether (100 mL), and the organic phase was washed with water (2×50 mL). After drying over anhydrous MgSO4, filtration and evaporation of the filtrate in vacuo gave crude 3-(propyloxy)-4-methoxybenzaldehyde (2.60 g) which was used in the next step without further purification.
