Reaction Steps

Dissolve 3-phenylpropionic acid (1.5 g, 10 mmol) in dimethylformamide (5 mL) and add t-butyldimethylsilyl chloride (7.5 g, 50 mmol) and imidazole (6.8 g, 0.1 mol). Stir for 48 hours at room temperature, pour into ethyl ether and water and separate the organic phase. Dry (MgSO4) and evaporate the solvent in vacuo to give 3-phenylpropionic acid, t-butyldimethylsilyl ester.
