Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-(benzyloxy)-4-propylphenyl 4-methylbenzenesulfonate (0.07 mmol; 28 mg) under argon, in a mixture of ethanol (0.2 mL) and water (0.1 mL), was added KOH (0.09 mmol; 5 mg). The reaction was refluxed for 1 hr, then hydrolysed with NH4Cl sat. (3 mL), and extracted with ethyl acetate (3*5 mL). Combined organic phases were washed with saturated NaHCO3 (3 mL), dried over MgSO4, concentrated. The residue was purified by preparative TLC (cyclohexane/dichloromethane) to yield the title compound as a clear oil (16 mg; 0.06 mmol; 86%).
