Ethyl 4-(benzyloxy)-3-hydroxybenzoate

177429-27-5

Step 9a: Synthesis of ethyl 4-(benzyloxy)-3-hydroxybenzoate (compound 502) A mixture of ethyl 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate (9.1 g, 50 mmol), benzyl chloride (6.3 g, 50 mmol), potassium iodide (1.66 g, 10 mmol) and potassium carbonate (13.8 g, 100 mmol) in acetonitrile (250 mL) was reacted by stirring at 40 °C overnight. Upon completion of the reaction, the mixture was cooled to room temperature and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography with petroleum ether/ethyl acetate (10:1, v/v) as eluent to give the title compound 502 as a white solid (4.4 g, 33% yield). LCMS (m/z): 273 [M+1]+. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6): δ 9.49 (s, 1H), 7.35 (m, 7H), 7.08 (d, J = 7.8 Hz, 1H), 5.16 (s, 2H), 4.21 (m, 2H), 1.26 (t, J = 7.5 Hz, 3H).

3.3.3. Ethyl 3-hydroxy-4-benzyloxybenzoate (4d)

Compound 7 (2.00 g, 6.36 mmol) was dissolved in MeOH/THF (2:1, 45 mL). A solution of sodium carbonate (0.81 g. 7.64 mmol in 15 mL of H2O) was added. The mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature and then concentrated. The residue was partitioned between EtOAc and water. The organic phase was washed with brine and dried (MgSO4). Solvent removal under vacuum gave the product as a white solid (1.66 g, 96%); mp 82-84 °C; νmax (KBr disc, cm-1) 3383 (OH), 1686 (CO); δH (400 MHz, CDCl3) 7.63 (d, 1H, J 1.9 Hz, H-2); 7.61 (dd, 1H, J 1.9, 8.3 Hz, H-6), 7.45-7.35 (5H, m, Bn H), 6.95 (d, 1H, J 8.3 Hz, H-5), 5.70 (br s, 1H, OH), 5.18 (s, 2H, Bn CH2), 4.35 (q, 2H, J 7.1 Hz, CH2CH3), 1.40 (t, 3H, J 7.1 Hz, CH3); δC (100.6 MHz, CDCl3) 149.9, 145.4, 135.6, 128.9, 128.7, 127.9, 124.1, 122.6, 115.8, 111.2, 71.1, 60.8, 14.4; m/z (ESI+) 295 [M+Na]+, HRESI+ 295.0945, C16H16NaO4 requires 295.0946.
