Procedure

To a mixture of 1.00 g of 3-hydroxybenzaldehyde, 1.80 g of tert-butyl(R)-lactate, 2.58 g of triphenylphosphine, and 40 mL of THF was added 1.71 g of diethyl azodicarboxylate at room temperature, followed by stirring for 12 hours. The reaction solution was diluted with ethyl acetate, followed by washing with a 5% aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: hexane-ethyl acetate) to obtain 1.49 g of tert-butyl(2S)-2-(3-formylphenoxy)propanoate as a colorless oily substance.
