Tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane → HCID 68870382, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

3-(2-Hydroxyethyl)phenol (1.0 g, 7.24 mmol) and methyl 2-(bromomethyl)benzoate (1.74 g, 7.6 mmol) were dissolved in acetonitrile (10 ml). Potassium carbonate anhydrous (2.0 g, 14.48 mmol) was added. After stirring at 60° C. for three hours PS-trisamine was added (0.3 eq) and was stirred overnight. The PS-trisamine was filtered off and the acetonitrile was removed by evaporation. EtOAc (10 ml) was added and the organic layer was washed with 3 portions of water (3×10 ml). The organic phase was dried (MgSO4) and the solvent was removed by evaporation to give 1.99 g of methyl 2-{[3-(2-hydroxyethyl)phenoxy]methyl}benzoate (yield 90%).
