Reaction Steps
To 2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)acetic acid in DMF cooled to 0° C. was added K2CO3 and the solution was stirred for 30 min. Then, benzyl bromide was added and the solution stirred at 0° C. and was allowed to slowly warm to 15-20° C. After all the ice was melted the solution was poured into NH4Cl(sat) and extracted with EtOAc. The combined organics were dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and evaporated. Column chromatography (SiO2, 0-35% EtOAc/Hex) gave pure benzyl 2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)acetate (E301).
