Reaction Steps

The procedure of Example VII for producing methyl 3-[4-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)phenyl]propionate was repeated in all essential details, except methyl salicylate was substituted for methyl 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propionate. The boiling point of the product was 148° (p=75μ). The NMR spectrum was consistent with the assigned structure and the elemental analysis with the formula C11H12O4.
