A new synthesis for methyl 2-benzyloxylphenylacetate

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919908086239

A new synthetic method for methyl 2-benzyloxylphenylacetate, a key intermediate of a new type of fungicides, had been found, which has only 3 steps. The 80% yield of the new method is a major improvement over the 30% 6- step-process reported by the literature.
