Acetyl chloride → HCID 66909120, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred suspension of 21.2 g (96.9 mmol) 4-Fluoro-3-trifluoromethoxy-benzoic acid (JRD-Fluoro) and 161 ml methanol were added 30.4 g (387.6 mmol) acetyl chloride drop wisely at 0° C. The reaction mixture was stirred over night, filtered and concentrated. The residue was diluted with dichloromethane, washed with diluted sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, dried with sodium sulphate and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography (hexane:ethylacetate). The desired product 14a was obtained in 75% yield (17.3 g; 72.7 mmol)
