Participants

Reaction Steps

139 g of ground potassium carbonate, 470 ml of acetonitrile, 16 g of benzyltributylammonium chloride and 136 g of allyl bromide were introduced into a 3-liter round-bottomed flask and 236 g of ground methyl 4-bromosalicylate were added in small amounts. The contents were heated under reflux with vigorous stirring, for 5 hours and then a part of the acetonitrile was distilled off under slight vacuum and the residue was taken up with water. A precipitate of methyl 2-allyloxy-4-bromobenzoate was obtained, which was drained, washed with water and air-dried.
