New downstream synthetic route of Methyl 2-hydroxy-3-phenylpropanoate

The synthetic route of 13674-16-3 has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.

In the next few decades, the world population will flourish. As the population grows rapidly and people all over the world use more and more resources, all industries must consider their environmental impact. 13674-16-3, name is Methyl 2-hydroxy-3-phenylpropanoate, the common compound, a new synthetic route is introduced below. HPLC of Formula: C10H12O3

Methyl 2-Methanesulfonyloxy-3-phenylpropionate (34) A dichloromethane solution of methyl 2-hydroxy-3-phenylpropionate (33) is treated with triethylamine (1.1 equiv) and methanesulfonyl chloride (1.1 equiv) at 0 C. Upon completion of reaction, the mixture is dissolved in dichloromethane/ether and washed with saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride, dried and concentrated. Purification of crude material by flash column chromatography (40% ethyl acetate in hexane) gives methyl 2-methanesulfonyloxy-3-phenylpropionate (1.6 g, 93%). 1 H NMR (300 MHz CDCl3): delta 7.358-7.233 (m, 5H), 5.173 (dd, 4.26 Hz, 8.8 Hz, 1H), 3.793 (s, 3H), 3.301 (dd, 4.23 Hz, 14.38 Hz, 1H), 3.1295 (dd, 8.8 Hz, 14.3 Hz, 1H), 2.766 (s, 3H).

The synthetic route of 13674-16-3 has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
