3-chloro-2-methoxyphenol

Conditions: temp:100.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: A reaction mixture of 1,3-dichloro-2-methoxybenzene (885 mg, 5 mmol), potassium hydroxide (280 mg, 5 mmol), tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium (115 mg, 0.125 mmol) and tert-butyl X-Phos (159 mg, 0.375 mmol) in dioxane/water (1:1, 5 mL) was stirred at 100° C. for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was mixed with aqueous hydrochloride solution (1 N). The organic components were extracted with EtOAc. The combined EtOAc layers were washed with brine, and then concentrated. The residue was purified by chromatography. Elution with 10% EtOAc in hexane gave 3-chloro-2-methoxyphenol (22-1, 489 mg, 62% yield) as yellow oil. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 6.98-6.84 (m, 3H), 5.73 (br s, 1H), 3.93 (s, 3H). The organic components were extracted with EtOAc The combined EtOAc layers were washed with brine concentrated The residue was purified by chromatography Elution with 10% EtOAc in hexane
