Reaction Steps

To 2-(4-(hydroxymethyl)phenyl)acetic acid in MeOH at 0° C. was added TMS-CHN2. The solution was stirred for 3 h then quenched with a few drops of AcOH. The solvents were evaporated. Column chromatography (SiO2, 3-15% EtOAc/Hex) gave pure methyl 2-(4-(hydroxymethyl)phenyl)acetate (E132).
