Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of propyl chloroformate (613 mg) in THF (3 ml) was added to a solution of 4-nitrophenol (693 mg) and triethylamine (0.836 ml) in THF (10 ml) at 0° C. After stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes, water was added, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with a 10% aqueous sodium carbonate solution, an aqueous saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and an aqueous saturated sodium chloride solution, dried, and concentrated to obtain the title compound (1.11 g) as a pale yellow solid.
