I'm interested in synthesis of the above molecule. The classic synthesis involves caustic fusion which creates considerable waste. I know this subject was discussed on this discussion board previously.

I'm interested in any new ideas. Could an aryl sulfotransferase enzyme work?

Comments please.

The phenol can also be deprotected after the ethylation.(it might get simultanously deprotected during the ethylation :D)
