Ethyl bromoacetate → Ethyl 2-(2-formyl-4-methoxyphenoxy)acetate

참여 물질

반응 단계

To a solution of 2-hydroxy-5-methoxybenzaldehyde (21.75 g, 143 mmol) in 240 mL acetonitrile were successively added Cs2CO3 (55.9 g, 1.2 eq.) and ethyl bromoacetate (16.6 mL, 1.05 eq.) and the mixture vigorously stirred at ambient temperature for 2 h. Pouring onto crashed ice/NH4Cl, twofold extraction with AcOEt, washing with water and brine, drying over magnesium sulfate, and evaporation of the solvents left 34.36 g of the title product, sufficiently pure to be used for the next step.
