Ethanol → HCID 14718890, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

The acid chloride from stage 1 (1.00 g) was dissolved in dry ethanol (5 cm3) and, when the initial exothermic reaction had subsided, the solution was stirred for a further 3 hours at the ambient temperature. The excess ethanol was evaporated under reduced pressure to yield ethyl 4-(methoxymethyl)-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzoate (0.90 g) as a yellow oil.
