Reaction Steps

To a solution of (3-Hydroxy-phenyl)-acetic acid ethyl ester (27.6 g) in THF was added NaH (7.35 g), MOM-CI (14.8 g) slowly at 0°. After stirred for 14 h at the same temperature, the reaction mixture was warmed to room temperature. The resulting mixture was diluted with water and extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting residue was chromatographed on silica gel (n-Hex:EtOAc=15:1 to 10:1) to afford the product as colorless oil. (31.2 g, 90.9%)
