Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of benzyl (2-bromo-4-hydroxyphenyl)acetate (500 mg) in N,N-dimethylformamide (12.5 mL) was added cuprous chloride (1.62 g), followed by stirring at 140° C. overnight. The reaction mixture was left to be cooled, and then ice water and 1 M hydrochloric acid was added thereto, followed by stirring. After extraction with ethyl acetate, the organic layer was washed with water, a saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, and a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. Then, the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane-ethyl acetate) to obtain benzyl (2-chloro-4-hydroxyphenyl)acetate (381 mg).
