Sodium Acetate → HCID 54131426, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 6.4 grams (0.03 mole) of 4-chloro-2-[(propoxyimino)methyl]phenol (prepared in the manner of Example 1) in 50 ml of acetic anhydride was added in one portion 2.5 grams (0.03 mole) of sodium acetate. The reaction mixture was heated at 90°-100° for two hours, cooled to ambient temperature, and poured into 200 ml of ice-water. The mixture was stirred until the ice melted. A colorless oil separated and was extracted with portions of methylene chloride. The combined extracts were dried with sodium sulfate and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to a residual oil. The oil was distilled under reduced pressure to give 5.4 grams of 4-chloro-2-[(propoxyimino)methy]phenyl acetate; bp 95°-107°/3.333 Pa.
