Reaction Steps

94.5g (1 mol) of chloroacetic acid, 154.7g (1.3 mol) of potassium bromide, 127.4g (1.3 mol) of c.-sulfuric acid, 75 ml of water, 200g of toluene and 108g (1 mol) of benzylalcohol were used and treated in a similar way as described in Example 3. 214g (93.4% of theory) of benzyl bromoacetate were obtained. Bp. = 145° C/ 4 mmHg. 176.5g (99.7%) of potassium hydrogen sulfate was isolated.
