Sodium Hydroxide → 2-p-Chlorophenyl-3(3-carbomethoxypropionyl)5-propoxymethyl oxazolidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 25.6 milliliters of 25 percent w/v, 2-p-chlorophenyl-5-propoxymethyl oxazolidine solution in 50 milliliters of benzene was added 3.8 grams of 3-carbomethoxypropionyl chloride. To this reaction mixture was added 2 grams of 50% sodium hydroxide. Upon completion of the reaction solvent, benzene, was removed in vacuo. There was obtained 6.0 grams of the title compound, nD30 1.4975. Analytical data supports the structure.
