Reaction Steps
Benzyl ethers may conveniently be used to protect --YH groups. For example, methyl 4-hydroxyphenylacetate (0.2 mol) is heated at reflux with 25 g benzyl chloride (0.2 mol) and 25 g K2CO3 (0.2 mol) in 100 mL ethanol. The product is added to dilute aqueous HCl, extracted with ether, and purified by silica gel chromatography to yield methyl 4-benzyloxyphenylacetate (7).
