Reaction Steps

2-[3-(2-Hydroxy-ethyl)-phenyl]-ethanol (2.49 g, 15.0 mmol) was dissolved in ACN (5 ml) and acetic anhydride (3.06 g, 30 mmol) added. The mixture was stirred under reflux for 1 h and then evaporated to dryness. Silica gel chromatography (HEP/EA gradient) of the residue yielded 1.30 g of the title compound (mono-acetylated product).
