Triethylamine → Benzyl 2-chloro-2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 137D (450 mg, 1.5 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (5 mL) at 0° C. was added triethylamine (0.42 mL, 3.0 mmol) followed by mesyl chloride (0.14 mL, 1.8 mmol). After stirring at rt overnight, the reaction was concentrated and purified via silica gel chromatography (0-25% ethyl acetate/hexanes) to provide 137E (268 mg, 56%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, Methanol-d4) δ ppm 3.81 (s, 3H) 3.87 (s, 3H) 5.19 (m, 2H) 5.36 (s, 1H) 6.81 (d, J=8.35 Hz, 1H) 6.93-7.07 (m, 2H) 7.20-7.42 (m, 5H).
