Phenol → Methyl-4-(trans-3-decenyloxy)-benzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Ester 34 (500 mg, 3.29 mmol), 3-decenol 26h (514 mg, 3.29 mmol), TPP (992 mg, 3.78 mmol), DEAD (658 mg, 3.78 mmol), and 33 ml ether were reacted according to the procedure for compound 35a. The crude product was purified via flash chromatography over silica gel with gradual elutions from 95/5-90/10 (v/v, Hex/EtOAc). Evaporation of solvent yielded 810 mg (85%) of colorless liquid which was not quite pure. The product was used without further purification.
