Benzyl bromoacetate Use and Manufacturing

General procedure: A mixture of the silica gel-adsorbed acid 2 (0.033 g), 2-bromoacetic acid (3a) (0.137 g, 0.988 mmol), and phenylmethanol (4a) (0.108 g, 1.000 mmol) under argon was stirred at 80 °C for 24 h. After the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, the addition of diethyl ether (5 mL × 5) and decantation resulted in complete separation of the organic layer and the silica gel-adsorbed acid 2. After the solvent was removed under reduced pressure, the product was purified by column chromatography on silica gel with hexane/EtOAc (v/v = 10/1) to give benzyl 2-bromoacetate (5aa) (0.189 g, 83percent). The silica gel-adsorbed acid 2 was dried under vacuum at room temperature, and recovered as a white powder (0.033 g, 99percent).[First Step]:Bromoacetic acid (20.8 g, 150 mmol), benzyl alcohol (16.2 g, 150 mmol), p-toluenesulfonic acid (258 mg, 1.5 mmol) and benzene (300 mL) were added to a two-necked flask equipped with a Dean-Stark trap, and were subjected to dehydration condensation at 120°C for 24 hours, and then the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure with an evaporator.[First Step]General procedure: A mixture of the silica gel-adsorbed acid 2 (0.033 g), 2-bromoacetic acid (3a) (0.137 g, 0.988 mmol), and phenylmethanol (4a) (0.108 g, 1.000 mmol) under argon was stirred at 80 °C for 24 h.
