Benzyl Alcohol → HCID 69037381, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

5 mmol of N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N′-ethyl-carbodiimid-hydrochloride was slowly added to a stirred suspension of 5 mmol 2-hydroxy-5-methanesulfonyl-benzoic acid, 5 mmol of benzyl alcohol and 0.5 mmol of 4-dimethylaminopyridine in 10 ml acetonitrile. The mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature, concentrated and treated with 10 ml of water. A few drops of diluted hydrochloric acid were added to acidify the solution. The resulting solid was filtered and then purified by chromatography (SiO2; ethyl acetate/cyclohexane 3:7) to yield the title compound as a colorless solid. MS (m/e): 305.0 (M−H, 100%)
