Procedure

A mixture of (S)-methyl 2-hydroxypropanoate (1.5 g, 14.41 mmol), 1-(chloromethyl)-4-methoxybenzene (3.38 g, 21.61 mmol), DIPEA (4.03 ml, 23.05 mmol) and sodium iodide (0.150 g, 1.001 mmol) was heated to 150° C. for 2 h. Reaction mixture then was cooled to room temperature diluted with EtOAc (100 mL) and washed with saturated NaHCO3 solution (2×50 mL) and brine. Combined organic extracts were dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and concentrated. The crude mixture was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel using an ISCO system (eluted with 9:1 Hexanes and EtOAc) to give (S)-methyl 2-((4-methoxybenzyl)oxy)propanoate (2 g) as a gummy liquid.
