Benzyl Bromide → Methyl 3,4-bis(benzyloxy)benzoate

関与物質

反応手順

Potassium carbonate (6.5 g; 47 mmol) was added to a solution of 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid methyl ester (2.6 g; 15.7 mmol) and benzyl bromide (5.37 g; 31.4 mmol) in acetone (100 ml). The reaction mixture was refluxed for 12 hrs. After the removal of the solvent under reduced pressure, the residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate (150 ml) and water (50 ml). The ethyl acetate layer was washed with water (50 ml) and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. Removal of the solvent under reduced pressure provided 3.36 g of 3,4-Dibenzyloxy benzoic acid methyl ester (Yield=86.6%)
