A solution of anhydrous orcinol (12.4 g,0.1 mole) in dry acetone (100 ml)is refluxed for 4 hr with dimethyl sulphate (10.63 ml，14.2 g,0.112 mole) and ignited potassium carbonate (20 g) under anhydrous conditions. The mixture is filtered in hot, and the inorganic salts are washed with hot acetone(25 ml). The combined acetone solution is distilled. The oily product is purified by column chromatography over silica gel using chloroform as aneluant. Orcinol monomethyl ether is obtained as oil. Yield 4.2 g (30.4%). |
