The solution was warmed to 22° C. and stirred for 1 h before ethyl 2-butynoate (1400 g, 12.48 mol) was added in one portion. The resulting mixture was warmed to 40° C., and stirred for 19.75 h. The reaction mixture was transferred to an extractor and was diluted with methyl t-butyl ether (21 L) and an aqueous 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (14 L). The mixture was stirred and separated and the organic phase washed with an 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (14 L). The aqueous phases were combined and extracted with methyl t-butyl ether (10 L). The organic layer was washed with an 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (7 L). The combined organic phases were washed with a 20% sodium chloride solution (14 L). The solution was evaporated to give (E)-3-(2-chloro-phenoxy)-but-2-enoic acid ethyl ester (96.9% pure by HPLC, 3134 g, 101%) as a light yellow oil.
