The condensation of 3,4-dimethylbenzyl chloride (I) with diethyl malonate (II) by means of sodium ethoxide ethanol gives the diethyl 2-(3,4-dimethylbenzyl)malonate (III), which by treatment with aqueous refluxing NaOH and the with refluxing aqueous sulfuric acid yields 3-(3,4-dimethylphenyl)propionic acid (IV). The reaction of (IV) with refluxing SOCl2 affords the corresponding acyl chloride (V), which is treated with ammonia providing the amide (VI). The reduction of (VI) with LiAlH4 in refluxing THF gives 3-(3,4-dimethylphenyl)propylamine (VII), which by condensation with 2-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)acetic acid (VIII) by heating at 150 C yields the corresponding amide (IX). The alkylation of the phenolic group of (IX) with 1,2-dibromoethane (X) and NaH in refluxing THF affords the 2-bromoethoxy derivative (XI), which by treatment with NaN3 and Bu4NBr in refluxing benzene gives the 2-azidoethoxy derivative (XII). Finally, this compound is reduced with H2 over Pd/C in ethyl acetate to afford the target compound.
