Komponenten

Versuchsvorschrift

A mixture of 1-(4-hydroxy-3-methylphenyl)ethanone (5 g, 33.3 mmol), ethyl 2-bromoacetate (1.1 eq.), and cesium carbonate (2 eq.) in acetonitrile (200 mL) was stirred at room temperature overnight. The acetonitrile was removed in vacuo, and the crude oil was dissolved in ethyl acetate (50 mL) and washed with 1M HCl (2×50 mL), water (2×50 mL), and brine (50 mL). The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to obtain ethyl 2-(4-acetyl-2-methylphenoxy)acetate (683).
