Methanol → Methyl 2-(4-mercaptophenyl)acetate

참여 물질

반응 단계

To an ambient temperature solution of 4-mercaptophenylacetic acid (5.0 g, 29.72 mmol) in MeOH (250 mL) is added sulfuric acid (1.25 mL). The reaction is stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture is concentrated and the residue is partitioned between Et2O and water. The aqueous layer is extracted with Et2O and the combined organic layers are washed with brine, dried (MgSO4), filtered, concentrated and chromatographed eluting with 0% to 30% EtOAC/Hexane to yield the title compound (3.69 g, 68%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.21 (d, 2H, J=7.9 Hz), 7.12 (d, 2H, J=8.4 Hz), 3.66 (s, 3H), 3.54 (s, 2H).
