Procedure

3.0 g (13.64 mmol) 4-iodophenol, 1.6 mL (15.00 mmol) 1-bromo-2-methylpropane and 7.5 g (54.54 mmol) K2CO3 are added to 30 mL DMF and stirred at 80° C. for 4 h. Afterwards the reaction mixture is diluted with water and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer is washed with diluted aq. NaOH (2×) and water (2×), dried with MgSO4 and the solvent is removed in vacuo. The crude product is used without further purification.
