Reaction Steps

(3-Hydroxymethylphenoxy)acetic acid methyl ester (400 mg, 2 mmol) and diphenylcarbamyl chloride (580 mg, 2.5 mmol) were combined in pyridine (2 ml). The resultant yellow solution was allowed to stand for ten days under nitrogen. The mixture was then poured into water, extracted with dichloromethane, and evaporated. Purification of the residue by silica gel chromatography, eluting with 5% acetone/dichloromethane, gave {3-[(diphenyl-carbamoyloxy)methyl]phenoxy}acetic acid methyl ester as a colorless solid (575 mg, 73%).
