3-Chlorobenzoic Acid → HCID 117599307, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 5-[(1E)-3-hydroxyprop-1-en-1-yl]-2-benzofuran-1(3H)-one (2.0 g, 10.5 mmol) in 50 mL of DCM was cooled to 0° C. and meta-chlorobenzoic acid (2.14 g, 10.53 mmol) in DCM (100 mL) was added dropwise. The temperature of the reaction mixture was then allowed to rise to RT. After 2 hours, the mixture was filtered and the filtrate was partitioned between DCM and water. The organic layer was washed with water (20 mL) and brine (20 mL), dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified with silica gel chromatography (petrol ether/EtOAc=2:1) to give the title product.
