4-Hydroxybenzaldehyde → Propanoic acid, 2-(4-hydroxyphenoxy)-, ethyl ester

関与物質

反応手順

12.2 g of 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde, 30 g of (-)-ethyl lactate-tosylate ([α]D25 =-34.2°, optical purity: 96%), 20 g of potassium carbonate and 100 g of acetonitrile, were mixed, and the mixture was refluxed for 5 hours and then cooled to room temperature. The reaction mixture was treated in the same manner as in Reference Example 3, whereby 20.0 g of (+)-ethyl 2-(4-hydroxyphenoxy)propionate was obtained as a colorless transparent liquid. The boiling point was from 130° to 140° C./1 mmHg. [α]D25 =+51.5°, optical purity: 93%.
