Benzyl Bromide → Methyl 4-(benzyloxy)-3-chlorobenzoate

関与物質

反応手順

A mixture of 3-chloro-4-hydroxy benzoic acid methyl ester (4.665 g, 25 mmol), benzyl bromide (5.13 g, 30 mmol) and potassium carbonate (6.91 g, 50 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (50 mL) was stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction mixture was poured onto crushed ice (ca. 300 g) and the product was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×100 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over sodium sulphate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in dichloromethane and precipitated by addition of hexane. Yield: 6.47 g (94%) white powder. 1H-NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ=3.90 (s, 3H, —OCH3); 5.23 (s, 2H, —CH2Ar), 6.99 (d, J=9.0 Hz, 1H), 7.31-7.48 (m, 5H), 7.89 (dd, J=9.0, 2.3 Hz, 1H), 8.08 (d, J=2.3 Hz, 1H).
