Acetic anhydride (430 mg) and pyridine (416 mg) were added to a solution of 3-chloro-4-methylphenol (500 mg) in ether (5.0 ml), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hr. The reaction mixture was washed once with 1N hydrochloric acid and twice with saturated brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure to give 4-acetoxy-2-chlorotoluene as a pale-yellow oil (645 mg).
