Chloromethyl Methyl Ether → Methyl 3-{[(methyloxy)methyl]oxy}benzoate

関与物質

反応手順

At about 0° C., diisopropylethylamine (1.7 g, 13.1 mmol) and methoxymethyl chloride (635 mg, 7.9 mmol) were sequentially added to a solution of methyl 3-hydroxybenzoate (1 g, 6.6 mmol) in dry dichloromethane (10 mL). The resulting mixture was maintained at ambient temperature for about 3 hours. Following standard extractive workup, the crude product was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel (2×16 cm, petroleum ether/ethyl acetate=10/1 elution) to give the title product (1.03 g, 80%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.71-7.69 (m, 2H), 7.36 (dd, 1H, J=7.8, 1.8 Hz), 7.25 (dd, 1H, J=7.8, 1.8 Hz), 5.22 (s, 2H), 3.92 (s, 3H), 3.50 (s, 3H); LC-MS: m/z=197 (MH)+.
