2-Chlorobenzenesulfonic acid 3-benzyloxyphenyl ester → 2-Chlorobenzenesulfonic acid 3-hydroxyphenyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Chlorobenzenesulfonic acid 3-benzyloxyphenyl ester (3.75 g, 10 mmol), as prepared in the preceding step, Pd/C (10%) (350 mg) in tetrahydrofuran (80 mL) was hydrogenated (balloon) for 3 h. The catalyst was filtered through Celite and washed with tetrahydrofuran. The combined tetrahydrofuran solution was evaporated in vacuo and the residue was then purified by flash column chromatography (methylene chloride) to give the title compound as a colorless oil (2.75 g, 95%).
