Procedure

2.50 g of 3-hydroxybenzaldehyde, 2.77 g of methyl L-(−)-lactate, and 6.44 g of triphenylphosphine were dissolved in 25.0 mL of THF, and 22.2 mL of a 2.2 M diethyl azodicarboxylate/toluene solution was added thereto under ice-cooling, followed by stirring at room temperature overnight. To the reaction liquid was added an aqueous saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine, and then dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=7:3 to 1:1) to obtain 1.67 g of methyl (2R)-2-(3-formylphenoxy)propionate. The obtained methyl (2R)-2-(3-formylphenoxy)propionate was dissolved in 33.3 mL of methanol, and 394 mg of sodium borohydride was added thereto under ice-cooling, followed by stirring for 30 minutes. To the reaction liquid were added ethyl acetate and water, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine, and then dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to obtain 1.68 g of methyl (2R)-2-[3-(hydroxymethyl)phenoxy]propionate.
