Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: A mixture of tert-butyl (2E)-3-[4-(benzyloxy)phenyl]acrylate (13.3 g, 42.8 mmol), 10% palladium carbon (1.3 g), ethanol (100 mL) and ethyl acetate (30 mL) was stirred under a hydrogen atmosphere at room temperature for 19 hrs. The catalyst was filtered off and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give the title compound (7.5 g, yield 79%) as colorless crystals. The catalyst was filtered off the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: To a solution (100 mL) of tert-butyl 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propanoate (5.5 g, 24.7 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide was added 60% sodium hydride (1.09 g, 27.2 mmol) with stirring at 0° C., and the mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 15 min. Then, 3-bromobenzylbromide (6.55 g, 25.91 mmol) was added to this mixture with stirring at 0° C., and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 hrs. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, and washed with water and saturated brine. The ethyl acetate layer was dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the title compound (7.5 g, yield 78%) as a colorless powder. the mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 15 min with stirring at 0° C. the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 hrs washed with water and saturated brine The ethyl acetate layer was dried over magnesium sulfate concentrated under reduced pressure

Procedure: To a solution of 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propanoic acid (3.32 g, 20 mmol) in dry DMF (20 ml) is carefully added 1,1′-carbonyldiimidazole (3.24 g, 20 mmol) portionwise. The reaction mixture is stirred at 40° C. for 2 hours after which time DBU (6.02 ml, 40 mmol) and tert-butanol (4.78 ml, 50 mmol) are added and the reaction mixture is now stirred at 65° C. for 2 days. The reaction mixture is allowed to cool to room temperature and poured into water (50 ml) and the product is extracted with diethyl ether (3×30 ml). The organics are combined, dried (MgSO4) and the solvent removed in vacuo to give a yellow oil. Purification by flash chromatography (SiO2, EtOAc/iso-hexane) yields 3-(4-Hydroxy-phenyl)-propionic acid tert-butyl ester as a colourless oil. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) 9.1 (1H, s), 7.0 (2H, d, J=8.45), 6.65 (2H, d, J=8.45), 2.7 (2H, t, J=7.28), 2.4 (2H, t, J=7.28), 1.4 (9H, s). are added to cool to room temperature the product is extracted with diethyl ether (3×30 ml) dried (MgSO4) the solvent removed in vacuo to give a yellow oil Purification by flash chromatography (SiO2, EtOAc/iso-hexane)
