18927-05-4, Each compound has different characteristics, and only by selecting the characteristics of the compound suitable for a specific situation can the compound be applied on a large scale. 18927-05-4, name is Methyl 3-Methoxyphenylacetate, This compound has unique chemical properties. The synthetic route is as follows.

To methyl 2-(3-methoxyphenyl)acetate (Aldrich, 1 g, 5.55 mmol) in THF (10 ml) at 00C, NaHMDS (5.55 ml, 5.55 mmol) was added. After stirring at 00C for 10 min, reaction mixture was stirred at RT for 0.5h and then MeI (0.4 ml) was added. After 45 min, another 5.55 ml of NaHMDS was added at 00C. Again after stirring at RT for 0.5 h, 0.5 ml of MeI was added and the reaction mixture was stirred at RT for 2h. Then the reaction mixture was quenched with ammonium chloride and solvent removed. Then the reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, acidified with 2N HCl and washed with ether. Aqueous layer was then basified and extracted with CHCl3. organic layer was dried and evaporated to yield methyl 2-(3-methoxyphenyl)-2-methylpropanoate.
