Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of Ethyl 2-(3-(methoxymethoxy)phenyl)propanoate (4.17 g, 17.5 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (80 mL) was added trifluoroacetic acid (40 mL) at 0° C. The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 hrs at 0° C., and basified with NaHCO3 (60 g). The mixture was diluted with H2O (250 mL) slowly and extracted with CH2Cl2. The organic layer was dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel using EtOAc:hexanes (1:4) as eluant.
