ConditionsYield
Stage #1: 4-methoxy-phenol With sodium hydride; potassium iodide In tetrahydrofuran; mineral oil at 0℃;

Experimental Procedure
To a stirred solution of 4-methoxyphenol (29) (40.06 g, 0.3227 mol) in THF (650 mL) were added NaH (60% in mineral oil, 25.45 g, 0.6361 mol) and KI (2.741 g, 16.51 mmol) at 0 °C. After the effervescence of hydrogen was completed, trichloroethylene (69.6 mL, 773 mmol) was added, and the mixture was heated to 40 °C. After being stirred for 14 h, the reaction was quenched with saturated NH4Cl aq. at 0 °C and the mixture was filtered through a Celite pad. Then, the filtrate was extracted with EtOAc several times. The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over anhydrous MgSO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, hexane/EtOAc = 50) to give 30 (67.83 g, 0.3096 mol, 96%from 29) as a colorless oil. 30: IR (neat) n 3104, 3003, 2953, 2927, 2852, 2837, 1630, 1596, 1503, 1463, 1442, 1298, 1275, 1248, 1193, 1162, 1103, 1073, 1036, 833, 793, 730, 695 cm1; 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) d 3.80 (3H, s), 5.88(1H, s), 6.88 (2H, d, J 9.4 Hz), 7.01 (2H, d, J 9.4 Hz); 13C NMR (100 MHz, CDCl3) d 55.7 (CH3), 102.5 (CH), 114.8 (CH 2), 110.6 (CH 2), 140.8 (C), 147.6 (C), 156.6 (C); FD-HRMS (m/z) calcd for 217.9901, found: 217.9912.
