Participants

Reaction Steps

Into a mixture of 103 g of methacrylic acid, 183 g of chloromethyl(2-indanyl)ether, and 1500 g of toluene was added 111 g of triethylamine under ice-cooling with agitation, and then the reaction mixture was agitated at room temperature for 16 hours. After a usual aqueous work-up, the solvent was removed by distillation to obtain a crude product. It was purified by a column chromatography to obtain 209 g of an objective product, (indane-2-yloxy)methyl methacrylate (yield 90%).
