Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1.5 g. (0.005 mol.) of N-t-butoxycarbonyl-2-acetoxyglycine n-butyl ester in 10 ml. of methylene chloride was slowly added over a 1 hour period to a stirred solution of 0.6 g. (0.006 mol.) of phenol and 0.1 ml. of boron trifluoride etherate in 15 ml. of methylene chloride. After 3 hours the reaction mixture was chromatographed on 50 g. of silica gel and eluted with methylene chloride containing increasing amounts of ethyl acetate to give N-t-butoxycarbonyl-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)glycine n-butyl ester and N-t-butoxycarbonyl-2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)glycine n-butyl ester.
