Reaktionsschritte

107.3 g (0.5 mol) 2-(p-chlorophenoxy) isobutyric acid and 56.0 g (0.25 mol) 7-hydroxyethyltheophylline were suspended together in 250 ml xylene and heated for 15 hours in a water separator after addition of 1.5 g p-toluenesulfonic acid. The solution was next agitated with dilute sodium bicarbonate solution (0.5 mol NaHCO3), waterwashed and evaporated in a rotary evaporator. The residue was crystallized from isopropanol, yielding 58.0 g (55% yield) 1-(7-theophyllinyl)-2-ethyl [2-(p-chlorophenoxy)-isobutyrate] with a melting point 131°-132°C.
