Procedure

27.0 g (0.1 mol) 7-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)-theophylline and 18.6 g (0.1 mol) p-chlorophenoxyacetic acid were heated in 100 ml xylene for 8 hours in a water separator with the addition of 0.9 g p-toluenesulfonic acid. After cooling down, the xylene was decanted and the residue dissolved in hot isopropanol. After addition of a little water the monoester crystallized out slowly. The yield was 33.4 g (79% yield) of 1-(7-theophyllinyl)-2-hydroxy-3-propyl (p-chlorophenoxyacetate) with a melting point of 81°-83°C.
