Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Amino-5-(2-hydroxyethoxy)benzoic acid hydrochloride (0.209 g, 895 μmol; CAS 78299-60-2) was suspended in dichloromethane (10 ml) at r.t under an argon atmosphere. The reaction mixture was diluted with MeOH (3 ml). Then trimethylsilyldiazomethane solution (1.45 ml, 2.9 mmol; 2M in hexane) was added dropwise. The reaction mixture was stirred at r.t for 1 hr. The solvents were evaporated. The crude product was purified by silica gel chromatography using a n-heptane/EtOAc gradient to give the title compound (154 mg, 82%) as light yellow, waxy solid.
