Diazomethane → HCID 21412655, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

An ethereal solution of 2-(2-hydroxy-4-biphenylyl) propionic acid was treated with excess diazomethane and the resulting mixture evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure. The resulting product was triturated with light petroleum, b.p. 40° - 60°C., collected by filtration and dried. The product was recrystallised twice from light petroleum (b.p. 80° - 100°C.) to give methyl 2-(2-hydroxy-4-biphenylyl)propionate, m.p. 105.5° - 107.5°C.
