HCID 2734107Methyl 2,6-dichlorophenylacetate

Procedure

(2,6-Dichlorophenyl)acetic acid (2.55 g) was dissolved in anhydrous MeOH (60 mL) and HCl (gas) was passed through the mixture and the resulting solution was stirred at room temperature for 18 h. The solvent was then evaporated to give (2,6-dichlorophenyl)acetic acid methyl ester (2.7 g).

Workup

  1. customThe solvent was then evaporated
