Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of the 2-chloro-5-methylphenol (4.0 g, 28 mmol) in anhydrous THF (24 mL) at 0° C. under argon protection was added triphenylphosphine (9.5 g, 36.4 mmol), followed by addition of the (R)-methyl 2-hydroxypropanoate (3.89 g, 31 mmol). Then DIAD (8.2 mL, 42 mmol) was added slowly to the solution at 0° C. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 20 h. The solvent was removed and the crude was purified by flash chromatography (AcOEt/hexane 0˜30%) to obtain the title compound.
