Participants

Reaction Steps

Tert-butyl bromoacetate (1.08 mL, 7.27 mmol) and potassium carbonate (2.01 g, 14.55 mmol) were added to a solution of 3-bromo-2-methylphenol (1.29 g, 6.92 mmol) in acetone (17 mL), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 hours under a nitrogen atmosphere. The mixture was filtered, and the filtrate was evaporated to dryness to give (3-bromo-2-methylphenoxy)acetic acid tert-butyl ester as a pale yellow oil (2.12 g, 100%).
