Product 1

HCID 262942Methyl 5-phenylpentanoate

Procedure

5-Phenylpentanoic acid (10.0 g) was dissolved in 250 mL of methanol and sparged with hydrogen chloride gas at room temperature for 15 minutes. The solvent was then removed under vacuum. Methyl 5-phenylpentanoate obtained was used in the next step without further purification.

Workup

  1. customsparged with hydrogen chloride gas at room temperature for 15 minutes
  2. customThe solvent was then removed under vacuum
