Diazomethane → HCID 21412655, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

An ethereal solution of 2-(2-hydroxy-4-biphenylyl)propionic acid was treated with excess diazomethane and the resulting mixture evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure. The resulting product was triturated with light petroleum, b.p. 40°-60° C., collected by filtration and dried. The product was recrystallised twice from light petroleum (b.p. 80°-100° C.) to give methyl 2-(2-hydroxy-4-biphenylyl)propionate, m.p. 105.5°-107.5° C.
