Reaction Steps

A solution of 30.5 g (0.20 mol) of 3-chloro-2-hydroxy-1-propyl acetate (prepared in Example 1), 22 g (0.30 mol) of ethyl vinyl ether, and 7.5 g (0.030 mol) of pyridinium p-toluenesulfonate in 150 mL of methylene chloride was stirred at room temperature for 6 hours. The solution was then washed with 75 mL of water, dried and stripped of solvent in vacuo to give 44.0 g (98.0%) of 3-chloro-2-(1-ethoxyethoxy)-1-propyl acetate: 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ1.05-1.37 (overlapping t and d, 6H, --CH2CH3 and --CHCH3); 2.07 (s, 3H, --COCH); 3.53 and 4.12 (m. 7H, --CH2CHCH2 and --CH2CH3); 4.72 (q, J=4 Hz, 1H, --CHCH3); IR (film) 1740 cm-1 (--COCH3 ). The unpurified product was used in the next step.
