Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 58289840, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A diethyl ether solution (38 mL) of 2 M ethylmagnesium bromide was dropwise added at room temperature to a diethyl ether (200 mL) solution of methyl 2-cyanophenylacetate (10 g) and titanium tetraisopropoxide (17.9 g), and stirred for 1 hour. Aqueous 1 N hydrochloric acid solution was added to the reaction liquid, and the organic layer was separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with chloroform, the organic layer was washed with saturated saline water, and dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated away under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified through basic silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate) to give the entitled compound as a colorless solid (1.8 g).
