1-(Chloromethoxy)-2-methoxyethane → HCID 11470803, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 4-hydroxyphenylacetate (200 mg, 1.20 mmol) in DCM (5 ml) is added DIPEA (0.315 ml, 1.81 mmol), and then MEMCl (0.204 ml, 1.81 mmol), and the resulting reaction mixture is stirred for 2 hours at room temperature. An additional portion of MEMCl (0.102 ml, 1 mmol) and of DIPEA (0.158 ml, 1 mmol) are added, and the reaction mixture is stirred for a further 16 hours. An additional portion of MEMCl (0.102 ml, 1 mmol) and of DIPEA (0.158 ml, 1 mmol) are added and the reaction mixture is stirred for 3 hours. The reaction mixture is diluted with DCM and washed with 0.5 M HCl, 1 M NaOH and then 0.5 M HCl, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo to afford [4-(2-Methoxy-ethoxymethoxy)-phenyl]-acetic acid methyl ester
