HCID 69313172, compound → (2-Ethyl-4-hydroxyphenoxy)acetic Acid Ethyl Ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of (4-benzyloxy-2-vinylphenoxy)acetic acid ethyl ester (0.55 g, 1.77 mmol) in ethanol (15 mL) was treated with 5% Pd/C (70 mg) and hydrogen (60 psi) at ambient temperature for 18 h. The mixture was filtered and concentrated in vacuo to give a tan oil (0.31 g, 77%): 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 6.68 (d, J=2.9 Hz, 1H), 6.62 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 1H), 6.57 (dd, J=8.8, 2.9 Hz, 1H), 4.62 (s, 1H), 4.57 (s, 2H), 4.25 (q, J=7.2 Hz, 2H), 3.73 (q, J=7.0 Hz, 2H), 2.66 (q, J=7.7 Hz, 2H), 1.34-0.92 (m, 6H); MS (FIA) m/e 225 (M+1).
