Reaction Steps
Methyl 4-hydroxyphenylacetate (5, 0.2 mol), obtainable from Aldrich Chemical Co. Inc., Milwaukee, Wis., is heated at reflux with benzyl chloride (25 g, 0.2 mol) and K2CO3 (25 g, 0.2 mol) in 100 mL ethanol. The product is added to dilute aqueous NaOH, extracted with ether, and purified by silica gel chromatography to yield methyl 4-benzyloxyphenylacetate (6). (Scheme II, Step 1.)
