“…Protected benzyloxyphenols and benzyloxybenzoates are an important class of compounds for the syntheses of pharmaceuticals, natural products and polymers (Pifferi et al, 1977). In particular, Methyl 4-(benzyloxy)-2-hydroxybenzoates are essential components of various types of liquid crystals and materials science (Ghosh et al, 2008), also will play an important role in synthesizing rod shaped liquid crystal which exhibits monotropic nematic mesophase (Kashi et al, 2010). Solid supported reagents have been employed for the protection and deprotection process frequently in organic synthesis particularly for title compound (Tangdenpaisal et al, 2009).…”
