Triethylamine → 4-Hydroxy-3-nitrobenzoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-chlorotrityl chloride resin (3.00 g, 4.5 mmol) was swelled in DCM. 4-Acetoxy-3-nitro-benzoic acid (2.53 g, 11.25 mmol) was dissolved in DMF (7.5 ml) and triethylamine (1.56 ml, 11.25 ml) mixed with the drained resin. The mixture was placed on a shaker for 18 h at rt. Followed by a careful wash with DMF (3×2 min) and methanol (3×2 min). The resin was treated with a solution of 2-phanyl-ethyl amine (2M, 10 ml) in dichloromethane for 1 h at rt. and for 3 h at rt. then washed with dichloromethane (3×2 min) and dried. 36.1 mg resin was added 1% TFA in DCM 10 min filtered, added hexane and evaporated to give 4-hydroxy-3-nitro-benzoic acid (7.8 mg), which correspond to a loading of 1.18 mmol/g.
