Trifluoroacetic acid → HCID 90282105, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl 3-[4-(benzyloxy)-2-chlorophenyl]propanoate (22.5 g) in dichloromethane (67.6 mL) was added trifluoroacetic acid (24.8 mL), followed by stirring at room temperature for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, and then the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane-ethyl acetate) to obtain 3-[4-(benzyloxy)-2-chlorophenyl]propanoic acid (13.5 g).
